Police in the Czech Republic announced on Monday that a Holocaust memorial located in Ceska Lipa, 50 miles (80 km) north of Prague, was defaced by Czech vandals Sunday or Monday. A police spokeswoman could not say whether the removing of fifteen of seventeen Stars of David from the memorial were acts of anti-Semitism or theft.
The memorial commemorates the death of seventeen Jewish prisoners of the Schwarzheide concentration camp in eastern Germany, who were shot by Nazi guards during a forced prisoners’ march to Ceska Lipa on May 6, 1945.
