Notwithstanding the repeated protests and the instructions issued by the Government to the local authorities to take severe measures against the vandals who desecrate Jewish cemeteries, the epidemic shows no sign of decreasing.

A new case is reported to-day from the township of Eransfeld, near Goettingen, where the Jewish cemetery has been broken into and twelve gravestones have been smashed. According to the latest calculations this brings up the number of Jewish cemeteries desecrated in Germany to 120.
