On November 9, 82 years ago, the Nazi persecution of the Jews escalated in pogrom known as Kristallnacht.
Last year, the anniversary was marked by the desecration of 84 graves in a Jewish cemetery in Randers – an act that shocked people all over the world.
To prevent similar incidents taking place this year, members of the motorcycle club Muju og Co could be found patrolling the Jewish part of Vestre Kirkegård in Copenhagen.

The club describes itself as the world’s first Jewish-Muslim cycling club with the aim of promoting “understanding, unity and interest in motorcycles among religious-ethnic minorities”.
Dan, the club’s chairman, told DR that “we are trying to challenge some of the prejudices that Jews and Muslims have a hard time with each other”. He said he was very proud of the actions of the club members who work to protect Copenhagen’s cemeteries.
“The fact that Danish Muslims walk around and show their sympathy for a place like this, and make an effort to prevent it vandalism“I think it’s a great thing,” he said.
