MONSEY, NY – The ceremony took place at the Congregation Sons of Israel of Spring Valley Cemetery in Monsey. The remains were found at the Holocaust Center for Tolerance and Education when the organization was moving last winter. An expert confirmed that the contents of a box thought to contain only dirt from the Chelmno concentration camp shockingly also contained ashes and bone fragments.

Chelmno was the first Nazi death camp to use gas instead of bullets. An estimated 172,000 people were killed there, many from the Lodz Ghetto, which was also called the Litzmannstadt Ghetto.
