EJC deplores desecration of Athens Jewish cemetery and stands in solidarity with the Greek Jewish community
The European Jewish Congress (EJC) expresses its condemnation of the desecration of a Jewish cemetery near Athens. The cemetery was vandalised by unknown individuals who smashed several marble headstones. “Attacking the final resting places of members of the Athens Jewish community is a despicable and deplorable act,” said Dr. Moshe Kantor, President of the EJC.
The Athens Jewish Community is organising a silent protest at the cemetery.
Europski židovdki kongres (EJC) je osudio oskvrnuće židovskog groblja blizu Atene. Groblje je vandalizirano od nepoznatih osoba koji su razbile nekoliko mramornih nadgrobnih spomenika. "Napad na posljednje počivalište članova Židovske zajednice u Ateni je djelo vrijedno žaljenja i prezira" rekao je dr. Moshe Kantor, predsjednik EJC.
Atenska židovska zajednica je organizirala "tihi protest" na groblju.
