Lithuanian Holocaust monument vandalized
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUnidentified persons vandalized a Holocaust monument in Lithuania on the anniversary of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s birthday.
The monument in Vilkaviskis, a city located 90 miles west of the capital Vilnius, was stripped of its marble tiles and smashed in several parts on April 20, according to a report posted seven days later on the Facebook page of the city’s tiny Jewish community.
Lithuanian police have been informed of the incident and are investigating.
The unfenced monument was vandalized once before in 2012, prompting police to arrest a suspect based on eye-witnesses’ accounts, the news website suduvis.lt reported last year. However, police have not arrested any of the thieves who regularly strip marble tiles off the monument.
