The south side of the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, was found graffitied in black spray paint with a swastika and a message that read "Jews are guilty."

Officers spotted the graffiti while on patrol around 4 a.m. on Thursday. According to the St. Petersburg Police Department, city sanitation officials have already painted over the message.

Newsweek was provided a statement from Elizabeth Gelman, the executive director of the Florida Holocaust Museum. She said the incident proved to her that the work of the museum is "more important than ever."

"We remain committed to our vital mission to prevent future genocides and educate people about the dangers of antisemitism and other forms of racism and hatred. Clearly, our society still has a long way to go," she said.
