Jewish community leaders in southern Ukraine have reportdly asked for control over the land where a mass grave believed to contain thousands of Holocaust victims was found earlier this week as reported HERE on YW. The community asked local authorities to cede the land so the site could be commemorated and respected properly, said Avraam Volf, the leading rabbi for Odessa and southern Ukraine. The mass grave was discovered by chance by workers digging to lay gas pipelines in the village of Gvozdavka-1, northwest of Odessa. (AP)
