Damage to tombstones at the Jewish cemetery and the memorial to Jewish victims of the concentration camp in Trutnov

On the anniversary of the so-called Kristallnacht, four young neo-Nazi skinheads damaged 41 tombstones and a monument dedicated to the memory of Jewish young women who died in the concentration camp in Poříčí (a branch of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp). They also sprayed anti-Jewish inscriptions on the monuments, including Juden Raus. Three were sentenced to several months in a juvenile detention facility for several crimes, and the fourth was sentenced to the “normal” prison.
