“forensic findings are in progress. Around 300 graves have been desecrated, “according to the first elements of the investigation, the source said. This is “damage”, “for now no entry was found.”
The Prefect of the Lower Rhine and the prosecutor Saverne went there.
“It will be implemented as soon as possible to ensure that perpetrators of this heinous and barbaric act are identified and punished,” promised President François Hollande in a statement. “France is determined to fight relentlessly against anti-Semitism and those who want to undermine the Republic’s values,” insisted the Elysee.
Similarly, Prime Minister Manuel Valls denounced on Twitter “a vile, anti-Semitic act, an insult to the memory”.
