NZ reeling after vandals smash Jewish cemetery



New Zealand Jews have been left in shock after vandals torched a Jewish chapel and smashed more than 90 graves in Wellington yesterday, in the second anti-Semitic attack in the capital in less than a month....

Ninety-two gravestones had been knocked over. A small chapel, used for prayers during funeral services, was reduced to a smouldering shell.

A swastika etched crudely on the chapel wall greeted those who went to see the damage.

A second swastika was found gouged into the grass between two rows of headstones.

Additional images, and a list of the names on the defaced tombstones.
