Hundreds of Jewish graves were covered in swastikas and antisemitic graffiti in a spate of hate crimes in Jewish cemeteries in France.
Maurice Dahan, the president of the Jewish community of the Bas-Rihn, in Alsace in the east of the country, described the attacks as “a shock”, confirming that the majority of graves were daubed with swastikas.
The local authority is investigating damage done to 107 Jewish graves at the cemetery in Westhoffen, which is roughly 15 miles west of Strasbourg, Mail Online reports.
Nearly 12 miles away, anti-Jewish inscriptions were found in the village of Shaffhouse-sur-Zorn.
