Swastikas daubed on signs at Buchenwald camp memorial site

BERLIN (AP) — Authorities say that swastikas and other far-right symbols have been daubed on signs at the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial site in Germany. Police said two traffic signs and a sign with a map of the site were daubed with the symbols on Thursday evening. The signs were removed swiftly. The foundation that runs the memorial said Friday that it was “an abhorrent attack on the dignity of the Nazis’ victims and on our work.” There was no immediate word on who was responsible; police were investigating. The incident comes after seven trees dedicated to the memory of victims of the Nazi camp were chopped down in July.
