Swastikas Scrawled on Jewish Graves in Austria


ARUTZ SHEVA: Nazi symbols deface Jewish cemetery weeks after vandals paint swastikas on Jewish quarter and Jewish museum.

A Jewish and a Muslim cemetery were defiled with Nazi symbols and anti-migrant slogans in western Austria, police said Monday, just weeks after similar attacks on a refugee hostel and Jewish museum.

Unknown perpetrators desecrated graves and buildings with a red pen in the Jewish cemetery of the town of Hohenems, close to the Swiss border, some time between Saturday night and Sunday morning, a police spokeswoman told the APA news agency.

The offenders also drew swastikas and wrote racist slogans at a Muslim burial ground in the nearby municipality of Altach. » | Arutz Sheva Staff | Monday, October 19, 2015
