Warsaw Holocaust Memorial Vandalized with Anti-Israel Graffiti

The defacement equates the Holocaust with the Gaza conflict, drawing condemnation from Israeli and Polish officials.

The Umschlagplatz memorial in Warsaw, commemorating 300,000 Jews deported to Treblinka, was defaced with graffiti reading 'Warsaw 1943 = Gaza 2025.'
The vandalism is part of a broader trend of Holocaust sites being targeted with anti-Israel messages since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023.
The graffiti appears to align with claims by some activists accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, a charge Israel denies.
Israeli Ambassador to Poland, Yacov Livne, condemned the act and called on Poland to protect Holocaust sites and hold the perpetrators accountable.
Local police are investigating the incident, which was reported on January 3, but no arrests have been made so far.
