At least 85 graves located in the Jewish square of the Marcinelle cemetery were desecrated, according to the mayor of Charleroi, the socialist Paul Magnette. The location chosen and the graves targeted leave little doubt about the anti-Semitic nature of the damage. Yves Oschinsky, president of the Coordinating Committee of Jewish Organizations in Belgium (CCOJB), speaks of “the worst desecration of graves since Carpentras”. It was in 1990. Thirty-four Jewish graves had been overturned and broken by neo-Nazis in the cemetery of this town in Vaucluse.
This is not a simple desecration: it aims to deprive Jews of their identity since the Stars of David were removed from tombs. This goes beyond all abjections
