Dozens of Jewish gravestones daubed with swastikas in eastern France
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMore than 100 graves are found covered with swastikas and anti-Semitic graffiti at a Jewish cemetery near Strasbourg in eastern France on Tuesday, officials said, just hours after similar vandalism in a nearby village.
“It’s a shock,” Maurice Dahan, president of the Jewish consistory for the Bas-Rhin region, tells AFP, adding that most of the graves were daubed with swastikas.
The government’s regional authority says it is investigating the damage to 107 graves at the cemetery in Westhoffen, around 25 kilometers (15 miles) west of Strasbourg.
And about 20 kilometers away it says that anti-Jewish inscriptions were also found in the village of Schaffhouse-sur-Zorn.
