A monument put up by Jews in Bulgaria to thank the town of Vidin for preventing their deportation during the Holocaust was vandalized on Saturday.
The Shalom Organization of Jewish in Bulgaria said in a Facebook post that “Thanksgiving Monument” erected in 2003, was spray-painted with the words “Allah,” “Palestine,” “Hamas,” and the Islamic star and crescent moon symbol.
Ognyan Tsenkov, the mayor of the Vidin mumicipality, later condemned the vandalism as “outrageous and unacceptable”.
