Romania students suspected of buying bones from Holocaust-era mass grave/Haaretz

A prominent European Jewish organization has found evidence to suggest that Romanian medical students have been buying bones from a mass grave of Holocaust victims. Each bone is believed to have been sold for $40. The Rabbinical Center of Europe is investigating whether students from the University of Iasi had been purchasing parts of skeletons from a Jewish mass grave near the north-eastern Romanian university town. The probe began this month following a complaint to the Center by an American Jew living in Iasi. According to his testimony, local medical students had been purchasing human bones and skulls for research purposes from a mass grave of Holocaust victims located in Podu Iloaiei, a nearby village.
