Old Graveyard. Our guide told us two stories here. The first concerned how, before the war, some youth came to loot the synagogue across from the graveyard. The rabbi caught wind of their plan and stationed some youth wearing white blankets in the graveyard. They surprised the would-be robbers and sent them running, screaming that the ghosts were coming. The other concerned a Jewish rabbi buried in a corner of the graveyard, apparently an undesirable position. Many years before, a rich man had died who was generally seen as a miser, and so this rich man had been buried in the corner. It later came out that in fact the man had donated more money than anyone else to the poor, but always anonymously, and so the rabbi asked to be buried next to him.   (45/104)
