Romanian police have opened an inquiry into anti-Semitic graffiti sprayed on the home of Auschwitz survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel.
One of the comments said Wiesel, who died in 2016, was “in hell with Hitler.”
Police are investigating after anti-Semitic slogans were scrawled on the home of late Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel. The small house, in the Romanian town of Sighetu Marmatiei, is a protected historical monument.
The graffiti, which appeared on Friday night, was quickly removed by authorities. A police spokesperson said investigators were studying closed-circuit TV footage from the town.
The World Jewish Congress has strongly condemned the “despicable anti-Semitic vandalism” in a message posted on Twitter.
