Paragraph 1    A poster which begs for proper burial for those skeletons which have been unearthed during archaeological digs of the past years.

Detailed
Description
   Despite promises to the contrary, no skeletons have been re-buried. The poster makes reference the time that the German Kaiser prevented the burial of Mahar"M of Rotenberg, for some years, and a lot of money was donated to redeem the body and grant it a proper burial.

So too " the bones of the soldiers of Bar Kochba have been taken out and prevented from burial". The poster is asking for a public outcry so that proper burial will take place.

The bottom line states, "read and pass on [the information]."
