Someone vandalized a memorial to thousands of victims of the Nazis, including 3,000 Jews, in Poltava, Ukraine, according to a July 14, 2008 report by the "Versiya" newspaper. The article, written in somewhat euphemistic language, reported that "a Ukrainian national symbol and insulting words directed against several ethnic groups" were painted on the monument, established on the site of the mass murder of 3,000 Jews on November 23, 1941 and 5,000 other victims over the course of the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. Police are investigating the incident.
