Jewish cemetery wrecked in Oswiecim near former concentration camp

Vandals have wrecked tombs at a Jewish cemetery in Oswiecim near the former Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz in southern Poland. The desecration most probably took place last week. About 30 tombstones were knocked over and one was smashed to pieces. Oswiecim mayor Jozef Krawczyk described the situation as "an act of thoughtless vandalism." (Reuters) A.D.
