The answer given by Kaufmann Kohler indicated that this was permitted as the entire cemetery itself was not considered sacred. Gotthardt Deutsch wrote a similar responsum in 1919 and presented the same conclusion for our Reform congregations but he pointed out that traditional congregations would permit it only in the case of an emergency. He provided thorough rabbinic documentation. A subsequent responsum by Jacob Mann in 1936 dealt with an individual who continued to be a believing Christian and Mann decided that this burial should be prohibited, with one member of the committee, Julius Rappaport, dissenting. The matter was treated again by Solomon B. Freehof in 1963 in a more thorough responsum with many citations.
