Displaced Jews from Donetsk bid farewell in Kiev to the Jewish man who was killed by pro-Russian rebels.
Jewish Man Killed by Ukrainian Rebels
A Jewish man was shot to death by pro-Russian insurgents in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, community leaders told The Jerusalem Post.
According to Eduard Dolinsky, executive director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee in Kiev, the man was shot when attempting to prevent militants from commandeering his neighbor’s house.
Rabbi Pinchas Vishedski, the spiritual leader of Donetsk’s orthodox community, confirmed the man’s death.
The Jerusalem Post was unable to confirm the deceased name.
There may be less than one thousand Jews left in Donetsk out of a pre-war population of eleven thousand, Vishedski told the Jerusalem Post earlier this week from Mariupol, where he fled with over a hundred families.
