Israel’s national Holocaust memorial denounces the vandalism of Union Station in Washington, DC with swastika graffiti.

“The use of swastikas, a symbol of evil, cruelty and death, as graffiti… is repugnant,” Yad Vashem says in a statement.

It adds: “Following the observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day and juxtaposed to the fact that antisemitic materials can be easily purchased with the click of a button, these incidents highlight a very distressing situation not only in the US, but all over the world.”
