Greece – Vandals desecrate Jewish cemetery

Vandals desecrated a Jewish cemetery in the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki and three youths were arrested for the attack.

The assailants smeared graffiti in the cemetery, police said.

The slogans say “Fire to the Jews”, “Juden Raus’, “Down the state, hail to the nation’, and have the emblem of the swastika.

Greece’s Jewish Council said the perpetrators were Neo-Nazis who spray painted antisemitic slogans and swastikas on the cemetery walls and destroyed graves.

“The government strongly condemns this act of vandalism and police launched an immediate investigation,” government spokesman George Petalotis said.
