Community in shock after dozens of headstones in older part of cemetery vandalized.
Around 70 headstones in a Jewish cemetery in Winnipeg, Manitoba that were found toppled earlier in the week have been put back in place, but it is unknown how many were damaged.
On Wednesday morning, workers at Shaarey Zedek Cemetery in the city’s West Kildonan residential suburb discovered that the stones had been pushed over onto the ground, CBC News reported.
According to Ran Ukashi, executive director of Congregation Shaarey Zedek, the owner of the cemetery, community members are in shock.
“It's an insult to the dead and also to the living families who go there and they see this," Ukashi told the CBC.
