The antisemitic vandals who since 1923 have been indulging in the sport of desecrating Jewish cemeteries have now scored their century, the hundredth case of Jewish cemetery desecration being just reported from Schriesheim, near Heidelberg. A large number of Jewish tombstones have been demolished and others which have been left standing have been covered with filth.
Two members of the Hitlerist Organisation have been arrested and will be charged with the outrage.
