Toppled tombstones were discovered at a Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia Tuesday, sparking a police investigation and invoking images of similar acts of vandalism across the country earlier this year.
Philadelphia Police told HuffPost there’s no immediate indication that anti-Semitism was at play after a groundskeeper at Adath Jeshurun Cemetery found five headstones knocked over. The incident is under investigation but not as a hate crime.
