Intolerance

A Muslim woman examines her relative's vandalized tombstone in the Muslim section of a Strasbourg cemetery. More than 50 tombstones were desecrated with swastikas and neo-Nazi slogans at the Meinau cemetery on Monday, June 14, 2004. Similar graffiti was also sprayed in the village of Wittersdorf, to the south. In May, swastikas had been sprayed on graves in a Christian cemetery in Alsace, eastern France, as well as a nearby Jewish cemetery.
