Holocaust monument in Poland vandalized

Published: 03.13.10, 18:32 / Israel News

Polish media say vandals have sprayed anti-Semitic graffiti on a Holocaust memorial at a former Nazi concentration camp. Words including "Jude Raus" (Jew Out) and "Hitler Good," in English, were found in red paint Saturday at the former Plaszow camp near Krakow. The vandalism
was discovered a day before a planned memorial march marking the 67th anniversary of the liquidation of Krakow's ghetto.

 

On March 13, 1943, German soldiers started a two-day action in which they emptied Krakow's ghetto of its estimated 16,000 Jewish residents, shipping them to Plaszow and to the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. The news agency PAP quoted a police official, Anna Zbroja, as saying authorities are on the spot trying to determine when the vandalism occurred. (AP)
