Belarus Holocaust memorial vandalized

By · February 14, 2008

A Holocaust memorial in Belarus was vandalized for the fourth time in a little more than a year.

 

Vandals set fire Tuesday to flowers surrounding the memorial to the 34,000 Jews murdered by the Nazis in Brest, Belarus, according to the Russian Jewish Web site Jewish.ru.

 

Police are investigating the crime, but several vandalism incidents in the Jewish community in the last several years have not led to any arrests.
