Gruissan municipal cemetery, France.<\/p>\n
(JTA) About 20 gravestones in a cemetery in southern France were vandalized with swastikas and the words Death to Jews and Death to the French.<\/p>\n
The graffiti was discovered in the Gruissan municipal cemetery in the Aude region on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The gravestones appear to have been chosen at random and were not broken or toppled, France 3 television reported.<\/p>\n
The cemetery has been closed to the public. No suspects have been identified in the attack.<\/p>\n
The National Bureau for Vigilance Against Antisemitism, or BNVCA, in a statement condemned the desecration of the cemetery. The statement noted that the town of Gruissan is usually rather calm, rather peaceful, and this aggression surprises and scandalizes us.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
