Belarus vandals daub swastikas on Shoah monument on Hitler's birthday
By The Associated Press
Tags: Belarus, Slutsk 

A Belarusian Jewish leader says vandals painted swastikas and graffiti on a Holocaust memorial site to mark the anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth.

Friedrich Falevich says the site in the town of Slutsk, south of the capital, Minsk, is being cleaned.

Slutsk city authorities aren't saying anything about Sunday's vandalism. But city services are helping to clean the monument.
