State Security Investigates Theft of Holocaust Memorial Plaque in Germany

Police are treating the theft of a historical information plaque near a former concentration camp as a politically motivated crime.

An information plaque at the KZ memorial site in Vaihingen an der Enz, Germany, was stolen between Wednesday and Friday last week.
The plaque, located near a cycling path, commemorated the history of the former concentration camp in the area.
Authorities suspect the theft was politically motivated and have launched an investigation led by state security forces.
Two weeks prior, the same plaque was found damaged in a nearby field, raising concerns about targeted vandalism.
The police have not yet identified any suspects and are appealing for public assistance in solving the case.
