A protest “before world Jewry and world public opinion” against the new wave of anti-Semitic vandalism in Germany was issued today by the Union of Jewish Communities of Hesse.
The protest was made following disclosure that the 30th act of vandalism directed against Jewish cemeteries in the province of Hesse since the end of the war took place during the week-end. The latest act of desecration was carried out in the old Jewish cemetery near Frankfurt.
