Polish city criticised after holding foam party on Jewish cemetery

He added: “We offered a really nice solution that would involve us helping to fund a new playground and moving the cemetery to an empty field nearby.

"But they keep stalling or canceling meetings and it seems like the town just doesn’t care.”

In his letter to the mayor of the eastern Polish town, Schudrich said that the foam party “puts into question whether further talks about the site make sense, and casts doubt on whether, regardless of religion, both parties are guided by common values drawn from it.”

A few hundred Jews are estimated to be buried at the site, which was demolished more than half a century ago when Poland was part of the USSR and is now a children's playground.

During the demolition of the cemetery, the bodies were not moved and remain underneath the now playground.

The site is also believed to host the grave of Rabbi Yehezkel Taub of Kuzhmiri, to which members of the Modzitz Hasidic sect make an annual pilgrimage.
