Romanian police today (August 4, 2018) announced it was investigating anti-Semitic graffiti drawn by vandals on the childhood home in the town of Sighet in northwest Romania, where the late Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel grew up, according to the Jewish Press website.
Some of the graffiti read, "Pedophile" and "Nazi Jew, in Hell with Hitler."
The Romanian group for Monitoring and Fighting Anti-Semitism condemned the vandalism against the "memory of Elie Wiesel, the memory of the Holocaust victims, and the souls of the Holocaust survivors."
Romanian-born, Holocaust survivor, Jewish-American writer Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel (1928-2016) was a professor, political activist, and Nobel Laureate. He authored 57 books, mostly in French and English, including "Night," a work based on his experiences as a prisoner in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps during World War II.
