Gravestones overturned in Berlin Jewish cemetery
Berlin - Around 30 gravestones have been toppled in Berlin's largest Jewish cemetery, police in the German capital said Tuesday.
The damage was discovered early Tuesday by a gardener at the cemetery in Weissensee in Berlin's northern Pankow borough.
The cemetery, said to be the largest undestroyed Jewish cemetery in Europe, has been in use since 1880. Several prominent German Jews lie buried on its 40 hectares, which contain some 115,000 graves.
It contains a memorial stone to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. (dpa)
