On August 20, 2004 Ha-Aretz reported, "Anti-Semitic and fascist slogans have appeared on the wall of a Jewish cemetery in a northwestern Romanian village where 126 Jews died during World War II, the local Jewish community said Friday. Jewish officials discovered anti-Semitic and fascist messages at a cemetery in the village of Camaras, written in big red letters in German, said Gavrila Goldner, chief of the local community in Cluj. Goldner said the messages were recent and read 'Jews out,' and 'Heil Hitler'... The messages were surrounded by swastikas. A swastika was also scrawled within the Star of David... Authorities were investigating the desecration, which could carry a prison sentence of up to five years."
