(RECA, Slovakia) — A private organization that wants to preserve
thousands of old Jewish cemeteries in Europe is using aerial drones to
map burial sites in countries where the Holocaust decimated Jewish
populations that existed before World War II.
The European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative said
Tuesday that teams of drone operators plan to survey 1,500 endangered
Jewish cemeteries in Slovakia, Greece, Moldova, Lithuania and Ukraine
this year. Once the boundaries are recorded, the sites will be enclosed
and cleaned, the Germany-based organization said.
The European Union is funding the effort with an
800,000-euro grant ($911,100) at a time of rising alarm over
anti-Semitic acts in some countries. This month, swastikas were painted
on about 80 gravestones at a Jewish cemetery in France, and vandals
damaged windows, sinks and a prominent headstone at a Jewish cemetery in
northwestern England.
