Approximately 30 gravestones were toppled in Berlin’s largest Jewish cemetery. The damage was discovered early today by a gardener at the cemetery in Weissensee in Berlin’s northern Pankow borough.

The cemetery, said to be the largest un-destroyed Jewish cemetery in Europe, has been in use since 1880. Several prominent German Jews lie buried on its 40 hectares, which contain some 115,000 graves.

The cemetery also contains a memorial stone to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
