Czech police arrested four men suspected of vandalizing a Jewish cemetery last month. The four, three teen-agers and a 21-year-old, are being charged under the Czech Republic’s anti-hate crime laws, as well as with criminal hooliganism. Some forty-one headstones were overturned, and the words “Death to Jews” and “Jude Raus” spray-painted in the cemetery in the town of Trutnov, where no Jews currently live, last month.
