Unknown vandals on threw paint over a memorial boulder in Mahiliou that commemorates victims of the Holocaust on June 3.
According to the local Judaic community, the act of vandalism occurred between 10 a.m. and noon.
About half of the surface of the boulder and the inscription, which says, “In memory of the Mahiliou Jews who fell victim to the Nazis,” were covered with brown paint. An empty three-liter jar in which the vandals apparently had brought the paint was discovered in nearby bushes.
Navum Iofe, chairman of the local Judaic community, called the police, which launched an investigation.
“I view this act as a clear manifestation of anti-Semitism and evidence of the moral degradation of a certain part of society,” said Mr. Iofe. “They not only defaced the monument but also insulted the memory of the Jews who were martyred by the Nazis.”
A series of events collectively called Days of Jewish Culture had been held in Mahiliou a month before the incident. Israeli Ambassador Yosef Shagal called the events a “festival of Belarusian-Jewish friendship.”
