VIENNA (AFP-EJP)--- Vandals desecrated 43 Jewish graves in a central Vienna cemetery, local police said on Friday.
A police statement said that tombstones and slabs were found toppled or damaged at the cemetery. It said the vandals did not deface the graves with graffiti.
A statement from Austria's Jewish Community on Friday said it was "deeply affected" by the vandalism of the graves, which included those of a number of people killed during World War II.
Vienna Jewish community head Oskar Deutsch says he is confident that police will find the culprits.
Police said they were trying to track down who was responsible.
