head of gestapo found in jewish cemitary

Researchers have found a document claiming that the body of former Gestapo chief Heinrich Muller is in Germany’s oldest jewish cemetery. His body was uncovered in 1945 and moved to a mass grave in a Jewish cemetery.  Although Muller was involved in police work he was in charge of executing jews. The president of the central council of jews in Germany said  "That such a brutal Nazi sadist is buried in a Jewish cemetery of all places is a tasteless monstrosity. The memory of victims is being heavily trampled on," finding the exact location of Heinrich Muller’s body would be difficult because it’s a mass grave.
