Berlin, Germany – 30 Gravestones Overturned in Europes Largest Jewish cemetery

Berlin, Germany – Around 30 gravestones have been toppled in Berlin's largest Jewish cemetery.

The damage was discovered early today 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.

The cemetery also contains a memorial stone to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. [dpa]
