Desecration of Jewish cemeteries has now spread to Poland, the first case being reported to-day from the township of Diwin, in the Kobryn district.
The Greek Orthodox population of the town had been holding a meeting in their cemetery, which adjoins the Jewish cemetery, and some of the crowd made their way over into the Jewish cemetery and smashed 25 tombstones there. There is no clue to the identity of the vandals.
