Disturbing discoveries in a place for the dead.

"You feel the emotions of something that was taken away," said Leonard Holtz, whose family maintain Hartford's Zion Hill Jewish Cemetery.


Pushed away in the case of Hartford's Zion Hill Cemetery. Tombstones moved around to use as a fireplace. And, it appears that someone has opened a Rabbi's mausoleum and took up residence inside.

Holtz says Zion Hill is a cemetery awash with all sorts of vandalism: "Homelessness, is one; drugs and vice, another; and then there's the criminal."

Holtz was heard on Channel 3, as was Hartford Police Lt. Aaron Boisvert, who said, "Any vandalism or crime is taken serious. It's just that this is a strange one."
