(Jewish Group) Vienna outdoor exhibition of Holocaust survivors cut up with a knife in the third att
A prominent public art installation in Vienna featuring large portraits of Holocaust survivors was badly damaged overnight on Sunday after an unknown assailant slashed the pictures with a knife.
Photographs published on Monday morning showed many of the Holocaust survivors faces either cut out or torn in two.
The attack comes a week after Against Forgetting created by Luigi Toscano in conjunction with ESRA, Viennas counselling service for Holocaust survivors was tagged with pro-Nazi and antisemitic graffiti.
That graffiti included a swastika and the words, 1 Jesus = 6,000,000 Jews.
The knife attack marks the third time that the portraits have been defiled since they were installed on Viennas Ringstrasse at the end of April.
