Jewish group: Synagogue in Hungary vandalized on eve of Kristallnacht anniversary
By Associated Press
Tags: Hungary, Jewish World 

A Jewish group says windows of a synagogue in eastern Hungary were smashed on the eve of the anniversary of the Nazi-incited riots of Kristallnacht.

The Rabbinical Center of Europe says the incident took place late Saturday in a synagogue in the Jewish Community Center in Debrecen, some 230 kilometers
(140 miles) east of Budapest.

Sunday was the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht in which 91 German Jews were killed and more than 1,000 synagogues damaged. It is considered one of the initial events of the Holocaust.

The Rabbinical Center said anti-Semitic attacks were part of the daily life of Jews in Europe and that it was necessary to educate young non-Jews about prejudice to combat its effects.
