Does anyone know if the Jewish cemetary, right across from Rosengård is safe? It’s been attacked before and I hate to think anyhting happened to my grandparent’s graves.
“Does anyone know if the Jewish cemetary, right across from Rosengård is safe? It’s been attacked before and I hate to think anyhting happened to my grandparent’s graves.”
- I don’t live in Malmö, but from what I can see, the Jewish cemetary is not located in the immidiate vicinity of Rosengård ( - according to eniro.se, a site which features maps of all of Sweden among other things. The address of the cemetary is Föreningsgatan/Union Street which is pretty far away from Rosengård from an inner Malmö perspective).
Severe attacks against Jewish cemetaries are pretty rare in Sweden, even if they sometimes do occur. I’m no expert of these things, but it was a long time ago since I heard of any major attack against such a place.
I think most Jewish cemetaries and Jewish places of worship in Sweden are rather well protected through various measures like surveillance cameras and security guards.
Insofar as my country has failed to protect ground sacred to you and other people of Jewish origin here in Sweden, I sincerely wish to apologize.
Many Scandinavian Jews, as well as Jews that live or have lived outside of my part of the world have contributed immensely to the development of Sweden and her neighbor countries.
Let’s hope for the best. In any case, the rage of these displayed by Muslims and other groups like AFA (Anarchists) that have joined them during these riots is not antisemitic in nature.
Best of regards from Gothenburg/Göteborg, Sweden
