State security investigates after arson attack on synagogue. No one was injured in the midday attack.
A caretaker team from a neighboring cultural center discovered the fire and extinguished the flames. The police are searching for the perpetrators with a large contingent, and state security is also investigating. “Attacks on synagogues are attacks on all of us,” said Oldenburg's mayor Jürgen Krogmann. “We will not accept that a Jewish institution in our city has become the target of an attempted attack.”
