Several hundred anti-Semitic stickers were found pasted to seats, trees and lamp-posts on the site of the Jewish Martyrs memorial monument here shortly before 4,000 Philadelphians assembled last week for services commemorating the six million Jews slain by the Nazis in World War II and the 26th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Police and officials of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Philadelphia managed to remove the stickers before the audience arrived. They were three inches wide and an inch deep and carried the words. “Hitler Was Right–Six Million More.” Several were affixed to the martyrs monument itself.
