Three committees dismissed parents’ arguments on dead children without explaining causes

Evidence

28. The details of this affair are still not clear. Three committees rejected the arguments of the parents, arguing that most of the children died. They failed to explain, however, why they were not buried, or to give the cause of death. — Ivan Davidson Kalmar, Derek Penslar, Orientalism and the Jews, 1280

Categorization

• QUESTION: An opaque reference to a ‘nine out of four hundred’ affair (per note 26) — worth chasing down the Yemenite children kidnapping scandal context.
• SEED: The unexplained mass death of children with no burial and no cause of death is a ready-made investigative essay angle on institutional coverups.
