A Jewish cemetery has been desecrated in the eastern part of the Czech Republic, members of the community there said Tuesday.
Jaroslav Klenovsky of the Jewish community in nearby Brno said 63 tombstones were overturned at the cemetery in Uhersky Ostroh, some 280 kilometers (175 miles) southeast of Prague.
He said the cemetery, which dates from 1862 and is no longer used for burials, contains a total of 300 tombstones.
