Vandals paint swastika on Berlin memorial to Holocaust victims
By The Associated Press

Vandals daubed a swastika in red paint on a Berlin memorial to the Nazis' Jewish victims, police said yesterday.

The roughly meter-high swastika appeared during the night of the Levetzowstrasse memorial, which marks the site of a former synagogue and one of the places where Jews were gathered during World War II for deportation to concentration camps.

Another swastika was found on a nearby memorial plaque, police said, and both were removed.
