A memorial stone at the site of Strasbourg’s old synagogue has been pushed off its foundation.
Strasbourg’s city hall announced on Saturday that the memorial stone near the Synagogue du Quai Kléber — the city’s main synagogue before World War II — has been vandalised. A memorial to a fire in the old synagogue, which was burnt down by Nazis in 1940, has been broken and pushed from its base. The incident was reported by residents at 9am local time.
The police have been to the scene and have launched an investigation into the incident.
