Orthodox UnionUnidentified perpetrators spray-painted anti-Semitic graffiti on the walls of a museum for Elie Wiesel in Romania, where he was also born. The graffiti on the Memorial House Elie Wiesel in Sighet, eastern Romania, read “public toilet,” “Nazi Jew lying in hell with Hitler” and “Anti-Semite pedophile,” all in florescent pink paint.
Wiesel, a Nobel laureate in literature, was one of the world’s most famous Holocaust survivors before he passed away in 2016 at 87.
