Last update - 16:51 10/02/2008 Vandals trample flowers at Holocaust memorial in Berlin By DPA Tags: Berlin, Jews, Holocaust Vandals trampled floral tributes and a book left at a Berlin Holocaust memorial, police said Sunday. They said an inquiry has been opened. The monument consists of a reflecting stainless steel wall with the names of Berlin-area Jews imprisoned by the Nazis etched into it. Advertisement Though flowers are not usual at Jewish funerals, bouquets are often left at the site. The 10-meter-long memorial at Steglitz is close to a former synagogue and was erected in 1995. The damage, presumably done during the night, was discovered early Sunday. Vandalism to Holocaust memorials is treated in Germany as a crime against democracy.
