Vandals deface Greek Holocaust memorial

A memorial to the 13,000 Greek Jewish children murdered in the Holocaust has been desecrated with Nazi images.

The memorial, which sits next to a children’s playground erected in their memory in central Athens, was defaced earlier this month with a Nazi swastika and Nazi SS signs, according to the Jewish Community of Athens.

“All that (the vandals) manage to do is unite us together against fascism, racism and intolerance,” the community says in a statement issued on Sunday.
