Headstone smashed at Jewish cemetery in Tallinn

Several headstones were knocked over and a dog was let loose at a Jewish cemetery in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.

The Israel-based Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism’s (or CFCA) website published featured pictures from the cemetery, in which overturned headstones were visible as well as canine footprints on earth atop a burial plot.

The pictures and report did not mention any hate graffiti or other indications that the incident was a hate crime.

Estonia, which has very few antisemitic incidents, is home about 2,500 Jews.
