Jewish Life Amid Rich Past
Is Found in Czechoslovakia

JERUSALEM—Bones of some
Babi Yar victims, smuggled out
of the Soviet Union by three young
Americans, were to be buried in
Israel, it was
w announced this week.
The funeral was to memorialize
the 100,000 Jews slain at the
ravine outside Kiev in 1941. by
German occupying forces.
Rabbi Yitzhak Yedidya Frenkel
said one of the three tourists was
Jewish. While touring the Kiev
area last month, they reportedly
came a c r o s s a small roadside
monument with a Russian inscrip-
tion. They managed to decipher
the figures 1941-43 and the word
"here."
Walking through a field near-
by that was being dug up for a
housing development, they came
across bones in the upturned soil.
They returned to their hotel,
checked a map and confirmed that
they had been at Babi Yar.
The next day the trio returned
to the field and collected bones
of adults and children. They
managed to get past Soviet cus-
toms by distributing the bones
throughout their luggage.
In Israel, the three delivered
the bones to Yad Vashem, which
in turn decided that a proper Jew-
ish funeral was required.
Rabbi Frenkel said the bones
equaled those of one human skele-
ton and would be buried in a
single coffin symbolizing all Babi
Yar victims in Tel Aviv's main
cemetery.
