Cemetery Vandals
Yet To Be Found

Paris (JTA) — Three years
after the particularly savage
desecration of the Jewish
cemetery of Carpentras, the
perpetrators are still at
large. And there is now con-
cern that the case may never
be solved.
Despite widespread
outrage over the vandalism
that elicited large protest
marches, no one has been
fingered in the May 10, 1990
crime, in which 34 tomb-
stones were toppled or
broken and the corpse of a
recently buried man was ex-
humed and brutally defiled.
Skinheads, political
militants, Satanic cult
adherents and all other
manner of suspects with
varied affiliations have since
been interrogated, with no
result.

In spite of some 100 in-
vestigators put on the trail
of the vandals, and the more
than 800 people interviewed,
no clue was ever found.
At the time, then Interior
Minister Pierre Joxe de-
nounced the perpetrators as
being tied to France's ex-
treme-right wing, pointing
the finger at Jean-Marie Le
Pen's National Front.
Mr. Le Pen angrily denied
the charge. But political
commentators blamed his
group for the "sick racist
climate" that led to the
desecration.
Outrage over the crime
triggered protests by hun-
dreds of thousands of French
people, including President
Francois Mitterrand and
then Prime Minister Michel
Rocard.
But the crime also spurred
copycat vandalism in several
European nations. And in
France, a history teacher
was called a dirty Jew and
beaten by masked men for
having discussed the inci-
dent in her class.
Last week, Sylvie Motte,
the judge in charge of the
criminal investigation, con-
ducted an on-site re-
enactment of the desecra-
tion.
On the evening of May 6,
with the help of a large
police contingent, the an-
cient Jewish cemetery in the
southern French town was
sealed off.
Under a full moon, exactly
as it was three years ago,
four police officers imper-
sonated the desecrators and
exhumed from a prepared

grave a coffin loaded with
lead.
Police technicians mea-
sured the resulting noise to
try to gauge whether the
cemetery's closest neighbor,
a Catholic boarding school
for girls, could possibly have
heard anything on the night
of the wild vandalism.
Observers have attributed
the difficulty of the in-
vestigation to a fundamental
mistake made at the time:
Hundreds of reporters and
curious onlookers were
allowed inside the cemetery
before the police forensics
department was able to
gather necessary informa-
tion.
Other critics say the
failure to come up with any
real lead was due to poli-
ticization of the investiga-
tion. The police were in-
structed to look closely in
the direction indicated by

All manner of
suspects have
been interrogated
by the Israel
police.

Mr. Joxe, toward the ex-
treme-right wing, instead of
leading an objective in-
vestigation.
Judge Motte has summon-
ed a local representative of
the National Front to appear
in her chambers. Fernand
Teboul, who happens to be
Jewish, is a town counselor
of l'Isle-sur- Sorgue, a small
city close to Carpentras.
Mr. Teboul declared
several months ago that the
culprits were known to the
authorities, but that those
authorities were not inter-
ested in revealing their
names.
Mr. Teboul said he knew
nothing more than anyone
else and that he did not
understand why the judge
had summoned him.
But a publication tied to
the National Front publish-
ed a chilling story over a
year ago saying that the
desecration was committed
by Jews.
According to the publica-
tion, Orthodox Jews were
outraged by the fact that
Felix Germon, a non-
practicing Jew married to a
