By JPOST.COM STAFF
Vandals in the city of Verdun, in northern France, scrawled Nazi slogans and symbols on a memorial to Jewish soldiers who died in the World War I, Israel Radio reported Friday.
The vandals drew swastikas and spray-painted the words 'Hiel Hitler' across the memorial.
Last week, 127 tombstones were desecrated in a Jewish cemetery in France. Vandals spray-painted anti-Semitic phrases and swastikas in a Jewish cemetery in the western city of Herrlisheim-Hattstatt.
French leaders responded to the desecration of graves with a wave of indignation. Anti-Semitic attacks have been on the rise in the country in the past three years.
