“An offense against the Memorial Site – is above all, an outrageous attack on the symbol of one of the greatest tragedies in human history and an extremely painful blow to the memory of all the victims of the German Nazi Auschwitz-Birkenau camp,” the memorial site tweeted.
Police are analyzing and compiling documentation as well as reviewing video footage of the incident, after which the memorial said it would remove the markings.
It added that the security measures at the site were being expanded but that fully enclosing the memorial site would not be possible for some time.
“We are deeply saddened and strongly condemn the attack on Auschwitz, a site where over one million Jews were murdered,” said Yad Vashem chairman Danny Dayan in response to the incident. “The vandalism of the barracks precisely in this place, through antisemitic inscriptions and symbols of Holocaust denial, constitutes an injury to the memory of the victims, the survivors and any person with a conscience.
“The event is another painful reminder that more must be done to promote the memory of the Holocaust and to educate the public and the younger generation regarding the dangers of antisemitism and Holocaust denial,” added Dayan.
