It comes after the island's Jewish synagogue was desecrated by vandals.

St Brelade's Deputy Julian Bernstein, a member of Jersey's Jewish community, says he believes the fact that swastikas were daubed on the building was a sign of an "anti-Jewish" outrage.

And he says it was clearly a "racial attack".

Slave labour

As well as the swastika and anti-semitic slogans, vandals painted other offensive signs and slogans with red paint.

Deputy Bernstein said he and his family had been completely "shocked" by the attack, but protecting all religious communities was the States' responsibility.

The Nazis occupied Jersey and other Channel Islands during World War II.

Jews were among the slave labour forced to labour on Jersey's military constructions.

Russians, Poles and Spanish Republicans were also among the 6,000 slave workers on the island.

The island was also a base for 11,500 German troops.
