An anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian art installation in Umea in northern Sweden featured mannequins dressed in concentration camp uniforms, hanging from nooses, images on social media show.

The figures are dressed in striped uniforms with yellow star badges and are hanging underneath a sign reading “genocide is genocide.”

There are Palestinian flags surrounding the installation, and a figure at the front is wearing a keffiyeh and holding a baby doll.

According to the Kan public broadcaster, images of the installation were initially posted on the “Umea for Palestine” social media accounts, but were deleted.

Swedish media outlet Expressen says police confirmed they received at least one complaint about the installation and are investigating.
