Unknown vandals have tipped over and broken 26 headstones at a Jewish cemetery in the Czech Republic, the European Jewish Press website reports today (September 27, 2012).
The cemetery -- which is no longer used for burials -- is located in the woods near the village of Prudice, about 40 miles south of Prague.
Police spokesman Miroslav Doubek said, "Police experts on combating extremists are currently investigating motives."
The Jewish cemetery in Prudice -- which dates back to the early 18th century -- contains some 150 tombstones. The last burial there occurred in 1938, prior to World War II and the Holocaust.
