   Jewish Cemetery Vandalized in Germany   
      
   FRANKFURT, Germany - Vandals desecrated a Jewish cemetery and a   
   memorial to concentration camp victims in two separate incidents over   
   the weekend, officials said Sunday.   
      
   Forty-two headstones in a Jewish cemetery near Gundesberg in central   
   Germany were sprayed with graffiti including "Heil Hitler," "Sieg   
   Heil" or simply "Hass," the German word for hate, police in nearby   
   Kassel said.   
      
   Separately, a memorial to the victims of a World War II-era   
   concentration camp near the northeastern city of Ravensbrueck was   
   sprayed with anti-Semitic graffiti, a state official said.   
      
   Guenter Morsch, who heads the federation for memorials in the   
   northeastern state of Brandenburg, called on police to find and   
   prosecute the vandals, as well as strengthen the fight against extreme   
   right groups.   
      
   Roughly 10,000 of the 150,000 women who were interned at the   
   concentration camp in Ravensbrueck died there.
