Israel Holocaust museum defaced with Hebrew graffiti thanking Hitler for mass killings

Jerusalem, June 12 (ANI): Hebrew graffiti thanking Adolf Hitler and denouncing Zionism have been sprayed inside a Holocaust museum in Jerusalem.

"Thank you Hitler for your wonderful Holocaust that you arranged for us, it's only because of you that we got a state at the UN," one giant slogan at the Yad Vashem museum in Jerusalem read.

The message was sprayed across walls in Warsaw Ghetto Square near to a sculpture depicting the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, in which 13,000 were killed in the first uprising in Nazi occupied Europe.

According to The Daily Mail, another slogan read: "The war of the Zionist regime is not the war of the Jewish people.'

The slogans have fuelled suspicion over ultra-Orthodox Jews, who are virulently opposed to the state of Israel.

The red, white and black graffiti was written in both Hebrew and in hand-written script and signed: 'The global cynical mafia.'

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld confirmed basic details of the incident, and said an investigation had been opened.

He said it was not clear who was responsible, whether it was 'youngsters, vandals or people acting from other motives.' (ANI)
