Doncaster – Fire crews were called to Rose Hill Cemetery yesterday after the Tahara House, a small burial room and chapel within the cemetery’s Jewish quarter was set ablaze.
Police have not said at this stage if the incident is being probed as an antisemitic attack but the blaze has been condemned by members of the Jewish community in South Yorkshire.
The building was last used more than 15 years ago for a Jewish funeral and has since been used as a store room by cemetery staff.
