Anti-Semitic Slogans Found near Nazi Work Camp in Lithuania

Lithuanian police said they discovered Nazi slogans drawn on a former concentration camp after Adolf Hitler’s birth date.

The slogans "Heil Hitler," “Jews out” in German and a swastika were scrawled on the pavement near the HKP 562 labor camp in Vilnius, Evelina Pagounis of the Vilnius police told the French news agency AFP.

The graffiti was discovered on Tuesday, two days after Hitler's 124th birthday.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius stated, "It is especially horrific that these anti-Semitic slogans appeared near two historically sensitive sites for the Jewish nation."

The work camp also is situated near an area where Nazis selected which Jews would be sent to work and which to death.
