The Hamburg police have arrested two workers belonging to the Hitlerist Nazi Party, whom they caught trying to climb over the wall of the Jewish cemetery in Hamburg. On entering the cemetery the police found that a large number of gravestones had been demolished and several graves desecrated. The vandals were apparently climbing back over the wall after having carried out their work of devastation in the cemetery. The names of the two prisoners are not disclosed in the police statement.
