Vandals Deface Jewish Museum of Greece; Latest in a Chain of Anti-Semitic Events

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) website reports today (July 25, 2010) that vandals painted red swastikas on the walls of the Jewish Museum of Greece in Athens.

The attack on July 22 marked the first time that the museum has been the target of anti-Semitic expression, according to the Athens community news.

Greece has been beset by a chain of anti-Semitic events this year, including two arson attacks on the Synagogue of Hania in Crete, vandalism against Jewish cemeteries in the cities of Ioannina and Thessaloniki, and the attack against the Holocaust Memorial on the island of Rhodes.

Security cameras recorded the eight perpetrators during the museum attack in Athens.
