80 graves vandalised at Jewish cemetery in France
Around 80 graves have been daubed with swastikas at a Jewish cemetery in eastern France,
local officials said, hours ahead of nationwide marches on Tuesday against a rise in anti-Semitic attacks.
The damage was discovered on Tuesday morning at a cemetery in the village of Quatzenheim, close to the border with Germany in the Alsace region, a statement from the regional security office said.
Photos show the Nazi symbols in blue spray-painted on the damaged graves,
one of which bears the words Elsassisches Schwarzen Wolfe (Black Alsacian Wolves), a separatist group with links to neo-Nazis in the 1970s.
