Jewish cemetery in Randers vandalised close to the anniversary of Kristallnacht

Several graves in a Jewish cemetery in Randers, Denmark, were toppled and broken from their foundations, according to the police daily report. The vandalism coincides with the weekend’s commemorations of the anniversary of Kristallnacht.

“We are actively investigating, and we do not rule anything out. On the other hand, we must say that antisemitism has increased in recent years”, said police inspector Anders Uhrskov from the East Jutland Police.
