The old Jewish cemetery in this university town, located in a built-up section close to the famed Heidelberg Castle, has been desecrated by youngsters digging up the centuries-old bodies and playing games with the bones. The police are bringing a complaint against the parents of the perpetrators for having failed to exercise due supervision.
