A Jewish cemetery in the northeastern Czech Republic town of Bohumin, where 25 tombstones in the 19th Century graveyard were overturned, and two were broken, according to a report in the Associated Press.
Bohumin had 400 Jewish residents before the Holocaust. Only 11 survived.
Meanwhile a report released Tuesday by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) showed that anti-Semitic stereotypes persist and are growing in Europe.
A poll carried out in six EU countries had found that half the respondents believe the Jews in their countries are more loyal to Israel than to their home states, while a third regard Jews as wielding too much influence in finance and business.
Announcing the findings in Jerusalem, ADL director Abe Foxman said these attitudes "help incite and legitimize anti-Semitic acts, including violence against Jews."
