Assurance that the Jewish cemeteries in German towns will be guarded against the attacks of vandals were given by the governments of several states in the Republic.
The steps were taken by the state governments following an appeal of the Centrai Verein Deutschen Buerger des Juedischen Glaubens. In reply to this communication, the governments of Prussia, Bavaria and other states notified the Verein that they have issued ordinances to guard the cemeteries and to mete exemplary punishment to those found guilty of the acts of vandalism.
