France anti-Semitism: Strasbourg Jewish memorial vandalised
2 March 2019
A memorial stone at the site of Strasbourg's old synagogue has been vandalised, the deputy mayor of the eastern French city says.
Alain Fontanel tweeted a picture of the marble slab after it was knocked off its plinth, calling the attack a "new act of anti-Semitism in our city".
The memorial stands at the site of the synagogue, which was burned down by the Nazis in September 1940.
Last month dozens of graves were desecrated at a nearby Jewish cemetery.
