A Jewish cemetery near Krakow, Poland was vandalized for the second time in less than a month, resulting in damage to dozens of headstones, the Times of Israel website reports today (August 23, 2018).
At least 30 headstones were pushed over -- some of them shattered -- in the latest incident recorded at the cemetery in Myslowice, a town located about 40 miles west of Krakow.
Some of the headstones toppled this week had been repaired following an earlier incident in which 20 headstones were shattered late last month. Police are investigating both anti-Semitic incidents.
In 2012, the Council of Europe adopted a nonbinding resolution placing responsibility for the care of Jewish cemeteries on national governments. The resolution was based in part on a report that said Jewish cemeteries are "probably" more vulnerable than other cemeteries.
