The memorial tablet for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust at the ” Gedempte Gracht” in The Hague was smeared with swastikas and the word “Jews” some time Sunday night. The same thing was done to a kosher delicatessen across the street and the nearby office of The Hague Jewish Congregation. This was the second time in recent weeks that the memorial tablet had been vandalized. In the northern Dutch city of Groningen, the National Resistance Monument was smeared with swastikas over the weekend.
