Grays – Vandals tried to ruin the International
Holocaust Day event, daubing an acid swastika on the town’s memorial.
The police were informed and the vandalism cleared away before more than
a hundred people – young and old – went to the High View Memorial Gardens at
the corner of Palme’s Avenue and High View Avenue to mark the 70 anniversary of
the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau – the place where more than a million
people were murdered.
