Vandals deface concentration camp memorial near Berlin

Vandals have defaced a memorial near Berlin that commemorates a death march of concentration camp prisoners through the Belower Forest, a German official said Thursday.

Director of Brandenburg memorials Guenter Morsch said unidentified people demolished a flower pot and the entrance door to the memorial.

Morsch said Thursday that someone also attempted to break a window at the nearby Sachsenhausen concentration camp memorial overnight but were unable to damage the security glass.

One of the barracks in Sachsenhausen was destroyed in 1992 in an arson attack that has not yet been solved.
