Anti-Semitic slogans sprayed on Hungarian Holocaust memorial

By DPA

Budapest - Unknown vandals have sprayed anti-Semitic slogans on a mobile Holocaust memorial exhibition just outside Budapest, police said Thursday.

Police from the small town of Godollo said that the vandalism of the train carriage, which has been on display throughout Hungary since April 2006, was discovered early on Thursday morning.

Jewish leaders and the Hungarian Prime Minister have recently warned that anti-Semitism is on the rise in Hungary.

In particular they are concerned by the formation of the Hungarian Guard - a body affiliated with far-right party Jobbik.

The Hungarian Guard has been accused of deliberately wearing uniforms and insignia reminiscent of fascist forces during the Second World War.

However, the guard says it is merely an organization dedicated to the protection of Hungarian culture.

Hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were killed in death camps during the Second World War.
