Press-Republican: Jewish cemetery vandalized in Saranac Lake

Kim Smith Dedam is reporting this afternoon that the Jewish section of the Pine Ridge Cemetery in Saranac Lake was vandalized over the Memorial Day weekend. A dozen graves, some historic, were toppled.

Saranac Lake police are investigating, according to Kim’s report:

Some of the memorials in Hebrew Memorial Cemetery are historic, including one stone placed by Lake Placid residents Dr. and Mrs. Bartholomew Ring that is dedicated to 25 of their relatives who died in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust.

The Ring stone was among those vandalized.
