More French Graves Desecrated



French Graves Desecrated

[From article]
The interior ministry said crucifixes were overturned and gravesites disturbed in Tracy-sur-Mer, a tiny town next to the D-Day landing beaches, as well as in Saint-Beat in southwest France in the latest vandalism.
Swastikas were found in two other towns, the ministry said.
The discoveries came as five teens faced preliminary charges for desecrating hundreds of graves at a Jewish cemetery in the eastern French town of Sarre-Union over the weekend.
State prosecutor Philippe Vannier said Wednesday that there was a clear “anti-Semitic motive” behind the actions of the teens, who have all admitted their participation in the desecration.
