Philadelphia Jewish cemetery vandalized in wave of anti-semitic acts

  • 7 years ago
A reward is being offered after scores of headstones were damaged at a Jewish cemetery in the Wissinoming section of Philadelphia. A man visiting Mount Carmel Cemetery on Sunday called police to report that three of his relatives' headstones had been knocked over and damaged. The discovery came less than a week after about 170 headstones were damaged at a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis. A wave of threats were reported at Jewish schools and centers nationwide Monday, according to the Anti-Defamation League, which has documented dozens of such threats recently.
