EJP: Fourteen gravestones at the Brady Street cemetery in Whitechapel were knocked over on 21 May and police are now trying to track down two individuals who were seen running from the scene.?
Although no graffiti was found, Mark Gardner, a spokesman for the Community Security Trust which protects the British Jewish community spoke of his outrage at the attack.
Gardner called the attack �vile� and a �cause of serious concern for the community.�
The graveyard, where more than 10,000 Jews are buried, is located in an area of London which was vastly populated by Jews during the 1900s. Although Jewish people have on the whole since moved from the area, known as the East End of London, the cemetery is still overseen by the United Synagogue, the mainstream religious organisation in the UK…….
