Smash 50 Tombstones in German Cemetery

FUERTH, West Germany,
(JTA)—Vandals who smashed
50 tombstones in a 400-year-old
Jewish -cemetery here were
hunted by police who asked the
public help in their hunt:
Fuerth Jewish leaders called
the wreckage "a sadistic work
of destruction." Police said that
the extent of the daniage in-
dicated that the vandals must
have spent several hours smash
ing the grave markers with
crowbars and sledgehammers.
In Giessen, police announced
they had traced three 10-year-
old bays as the culprits respon-
sible for the desecration of a

Jewish cemetery two weeks ago
in Assenheim. They turned over

25 tombstones. The police said
no anti-Semitic motives had
been found for the vandalism.
It was also reported that a
Jewish cemetery in Grosskarten
was desecrated over the week-
end.
