“An insult to the memory,” has dealt the Prime Minister, Manuel Valls. Sunday, February 15, the Minister of Inside, Bernard Cazeneuve, announced that hundreds of graves were desecrated in the Jewish cemetery in Sarre-Union, Bas-Rhin.
The mayor, Marc Senna, said meanwhile on BFM TV that the cemetery had about 400 graves and “about half was desecrated.”
“We believe that the desecrations were held on Friday or Saturday. Individuals were to be many because the damage is really important. “
According to the website of Latest News Alsace , a column and a memorial to victims of the Holocaust were also reportedly ransacked.
“LIVING TOGETHER”
“The Republic will not tolerate this new injury that harms the values that all the French have shared “, said Mr Cazeneuve, condemning ” a heinous act “ without providing more details about this ” desecration “.
He “no violence, no manifestation of disrespect or hatred inspired by all forms of racism or religious intolerance will weaken our unbreakable will to live together in freedom” .
In a statement from the Elysee, Hollande promised that “everything will be done” that the perpetrators of e “this heinous act and barbaric “ are ” identified and punished “
.
This is not the first time that the Jewish cemetery Sarre-Union is the subject of desecration. In 1988, sixty Jewish headstones were overturned, and in 2001, 54 graves were vandalized.
A little over a month after the Paris bombings that targeted a particular kosher supermarket, Bernard Cazeneuve Sunday went to Copenhagen to honor the victims of a double shooting against a cultural center which hosted a debate on freedom of expression and against a synagogue.
