Thousands of spectators who had been watching a football match in the grounds of the Hercules Greek Sports Club broke after the game into the Jewish cemetery of Salonica, adjoining the grounds, overpowering the attendants and demolished part of the wall and fifty of the tombstones.
The President of the Jewish Community and the Cemetery Committee have lodged a protest with the authorities and have demanded that an adequate police guard should be posted there for the protection of the cemetery. The authorities have expressed their willingness to supply the guard if the Jewish Community will provide a station building for the guard.
