A memorial to Jewish victims of a 1945 death march in the northern Czech town of Ceska Lipa has been vandalized.
A bronze menorah (the seven branched candelabrum), 17 Jewish stars and bronze plaques with the names of the victims were stolen from the memorial which is located 80 kilometers north of Prague.
The memorial, located near a primary school, was erected in Ceska Lipa in 2004 to commemorate 17 people who died there during a forced death march from the Schwarzheide concentration camp on 6 May 1945.
