| Nazi slogans scrawled across memorial for Jewish soldiers in France |
| 2004-05-07 |
| Vandals in the city of Verdun, in northern France, scrawled Nazi slogans and symbols on a memorial to Jewish soldiers who died in the World War I, Israel Radio reported Friday. The vandals drew swastikas and spray-painted the words ’Hiel Hitler’ across the memorial. Last week, 127 tombstones were desecrated in a Jewish cemetery in France. Vandals spray-painted anti-Semitic phrases and swastikas in a Jewish cemetery in the western city of Herrlisheim-Hattstatt. French leaders responded to the desecration of graves with a wave of indignation. Anti-Semitic attacks have been on the rise in the country in the past three years. |

| #4 Did anyone expect any more, after all it's the FRENCH. The Jewish relatives have to have their own resident 24/7 security patrol at the cemetery, and protect it themselves. Sad. |

| #3 Yeah, and by 1941 they were running their own concentration camps. |
