Dear Colleague:

You are undoubtedly aware of the ongoing desecration of the old Shnipishok cemetery in Vilnius caused by the derelict Sports Palace standing there (picture proposed renovation enclosed).

The enclosed article by Dr. Bernard Fryshman explains why certain actions relating to the Shnipishok Jewish cemetery places every Jewish cemetery at risk.

You may act on this material as you see fit; threats to Jewish cemeteries will be on a future agenda for discussion and possible action.
