The Nazi symbol and a German word meaning "Gas them" was immediately scrubbed off the memorial which was opened in 2012 in a city park close to the Holocaust memorial and a memorial for homosexual victims.
Up to 500,000 people were killed by the Nazis only because they belonged to traveller ethnic groups. Police are investigating.
