Rome – A banner with an antisemitic slur daubed on it was hung
outside a park in Rome, on the night before Holocaust Memorial Day.
The banner, proclaiming that the “Holocaust is an historical lie”, was
hung outside Rabin park overnight.
The park, on Rome’s via Panama, was named after Yitzhak Rabin, a former
Israeli prime minister who was assassinated in 1995.
The banner, which was signed “Militia”, the extreme right group, also
paid tribute to the German dictator Adolf Hitler, saying “Hitler for a thousand
years”. It has now been removed by police.
