Czech Republic – Memorial Commemorating Jewish Holocaust Victims Vandalized

 A Czech memorial dedicated to Jewish prisoners killed by Nazi guards during a Second World War death march was defaced by Czech vandals this week.

A police spokeswoman stated that the memorial, located in Ceska Lipa, 50 miles (80 km) north of Prague, has been vandalized for the third time. However, she could not say whether the removing of fifteen of the seventeen Stars of David were acts of anti-Semitism or theft.

The memorial commemorates the death of seventeen Jewish prisoners of the Schwarzheide concentration camp in eastern Germany, who were shot by Nazi guards during a forced prisoners’ march to Ceska Lipa on May 6, 1945.
