A Holocaust memorial in the city of Kryvyi Rih, in Ukraine, was desecrated over the weekend.
The damage, a mess of orange-colored spray paint slathered over the engraving on the monument, was discovered on Sunday, just a few days before the president of the country is due to travel to Israel to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
