MASS GRAVE: A mass grave for 200 Jews has been located in the part of Ukraine that was part of Hungary prior to WWII. Known as Ungvar, the city is on the Slovakia/Ukraine border. This unfenced open area in the cemetery has no gravestones. The Rabbinical Center of Europe is seeking relatives of those murdered to fund a fence and a memorial. [March 2009]
