Kosovo Police: Cemetery Vandals Not Identified
By R. Hoffner
In Pristina, the capital of Kosovo, police investigators have yet to
track down the vandals who desecrated graves in the local Jewish
cemetery last week, spray-painting graffiti and slogans such as "Jews
out" on dozens of gravestones that were refurbished just months ago in
a joint project with volunteers from Dartmouth College in New
Hampshire and students from the American University in Kosovo.
Following the cleaning and refurbishing work months ago, a ceremony
was held where students read aloud the names of Jewish families from
the area killed during World War II.
A police spokesman told reporters that the police have closed the
cemetery and are now in search of clues regarding the identity of the
vandals. He believes the incident took place last Tuesday, saying he
cannot divulge further details.
