The anonymous perpetrators, through the barbarous and senseless damaging of the tombs, have not just desecrated the memory of the deceased but also caused enormous damage to the local Jewish community. Therefore, the State Secretariat for Religious, Ethnic and Civil Society Relations of the Ministry of Human Resources deeply condemns this act and trusts that those who committed such a violation of human dignity will be caught by the policy as swiftly as possible.

The government will continue to step up as firmly as possible against all kinds of extremist, racist and anti-Semitic manifestations and shall make every effort necessary to suppress those spiteful voices that are incompatible with European norms and to protect every citizen from such attacks.
