Prague (Czech Republic), May 6 (EFE), (Camera: Martin Divisek).- Hundreds of cobblestones created from cut Jewish tombstones were found in recent days during the reconstruction of the Wenceslas Square. According to the Jewish community in Prague, during the manual dismantling of the original paving, dozens of stones with remnants of texts and hundreds of stones made of polished marble were found. These findings confirm that during the communist regime, Jewish gravestones often served as building material, partly also for paving pedestrian areas.

Jerusalem has a unique problem - they are running out of room to bury the recently deceased. In a bid to solve the city’s desperate lack of burial sites, Jerusalem is turning back the clock and building underground cemeteries for the first time in 1,600 years. The completed structure will hold 22,000 graves and will be able to provide burial space for about 10 years, taking up 300,000 cubic metres.
