Anti-Semitic Vandals Mar Warsaw Ghetto Memorial

Unknown vandals painted “Jude Raus” at the entrance of a memorial to the leader of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The words, which mean “Jews Out,” were discovered Wednesday at the Anielewicz Mound in Warsaw.

The monument to Mordechai Anielewicz, commander of the uprising, as well as to the rest of the uprising’s fighters, is located on Mila Street, which was a busy thoroughfare in Jewish Warsaw before the Holocaust.

During the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, Anielewicz and the staff of the Jewish Combat Organization made their plans and directed operations from a bunker at 18 Mila Street. The Germans surrounded the bunker on May 7, 1943. Most of the 100 resistance fighters and leaders inside the bunker committed suicide, though a few escaped.

Whatever - its despicable.

I noticed here in the UK last Saturday that security has been stepped up at Synagogues following the issues with the incident in south London which was Muslim related. I was only aware because I'd parked the car for minute across the road while trying to find a WW1 memorial and was almost immediately put under the inquisition. They soon realised I meant no harm and wandered off.

Of course, I want to know where are the Jews supposed to go when those people keep screaming "Out!"
