Dozens of Swastikas Painted on Holocaust Memorial


(April 24, 2008)

Vandals painted dozens of swastikas on a Holocaust memorial in Slutsk, Belarus, according to an April 21, 2008 report by the Belarusian opposition web site Kharitya 97. The memorial marks the site where the Nazis shot and burned to death 3,000 Jews in 1941. It is not clear from the report how local police are treating the incident, but vandals of Jewish cemeteries and memorials in Belarus are rarely punished.
