With a Memorandum of Understanding signed in Monaco, Europe’s main rabbinical alliance has agreed to work with US heritage workers to preserve Holocaust graves across the continent, the Times of Israel reported on Wednesday, November 22.
The MoU was signed between the Conference of European Rabbis (CER) and the US Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad.
“This agreement will mean that our two organisations can work in closer cooperation going forward,” commented CER President Chief Rabbi Goldschmidt of Moscow. The CER has already collated a database of thousands of graves and Rabbi Goldschmidt said working together with the Commission “will mean that we can achieve even more together”.
A delegation comprising of Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and the French Chief Rabbi Haim Korsia met with HSH Prince Albert.
