Jewish memorial again desecrated in Poland
WARSAW (EJP)---Vandals have defaced a memorial on the site of a former Jewish cemetery in Bialystok, in eastern Poland, by rearranging bushes that formed theJewish Star of David into a swastika, police said Monday.
The incident was the latest in a series of attacks on local minority sites.
Video footage showed torn bushes from the Star of David that had been rearranged to form a swastika in the centre of the monument.
On September 1, vandals desecrated a monument tovictims of the Jedwabne pogrom against Jews by covering it with swastikas and anti-Semitic slogans.
Other recent attacks in the region have
targeted the Muslim and Lithuanian communities.
The Polish government and Jewish groups have condemned recent acts of vandalism against Jewish targets which Bialystok police have said they believe were performed by the same people.
Poland was home to Europe's largest Jewish population until Nazi Germany's invasion and occupation of the country during WWII. Most Polish Jews perished in the Holocaust.
Today, between 5,000 and 15,000 Jews live in the country.
