The synagogue in Krnov, a Czech town near the Polish border, was vandalized on the eve of Rosh Hashanah. The perpetrators broke the synagogue’s windows and drew swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans on its walls. This marks the 11th time the synagogue has been attacked in three years. No Jews reside in the town; the synagogue serves as a cultural venue.
