Jewish cemetery vandalized in northern Slovakian town
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUnknown vandals have damaged dozens of gravestones at a Jewish cemetery in northern Slovakia, police and a group that worked to preserve the site say.
The Remember group says 59 gravestones were knocked down and damaged at the cemetery in the town of Namestovo.
The cemetery that dates to the second half of the 18th century had been badly neglected for decades before the organization started its renovation in 2010.
Police say they are investigating the attack.
Remember chairman Karol Kurtulik says his group will persist with its effort to preserve the site.
