Two years ago a friend of our family visited the Jewish cemetery in
Langenselbold, a suburb of Frankfurt am Main. She found it in a state
of disrepair which left her very upset. Has anyone been to the
cemetery more recently?

It is our understanding that the German government provides towns with
money to maintain the Jewish cemeteries. Since the Langenselbold
cemetery is in disrepair, the money is not being used for the correct
purpose. Under those circumstances, our friend wants to contact the proper
German authorities to report the failure to use the funds for the purpose
they were allocated. Does anyone know which authority to contact?

I am sure that knowing the German government authorities who provide
money for the upkeep of Jewish cemeteries is of critical importance to
many of the members of our group.
