The Jewish cemetery of Kuterdingen-Wankheim, a town near Tubingen, West Germany, was desecrated last month for the third time in a year.
The unknown vandals daubed gravestones with slogans such as “PLO,” “Israel must die” and “The wandering Jew.”
Officials of this town in the southwest part of the country said that many gravestones had been overturned or otherwise damaged.
The town is offering a 1,000 mark ($1,210) reward for information leading to the arrest of the vandals. A total of 5,000 marks ($8,550) has already been spent on cleaning up, and much more will be needed to repair a number of gravestones, town officials said.
