A mural of Holocaust survivors<\/a> in Italy has been defaced in a “demented act” of vandalism.<\/p>\n

The Milanese mural by artist aleXsandro Palombo features Holocaust survivors Liliana Segre and Sami Modiano, whose faces and Stars of David were scratched out. The Auschwitz-Birkenau survivors were portrayed in striped camp uniforms and bulletproof vests.<\/p>\n

The artwork, unveiled on September 28, aimed to emphasize Holocaust remembrance as antisemitism rises in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The defacement came just after a pro-Palestinian rally in Milan where some demonstrators targeted Segre, a 94-year-old Italian senator, labeling her a “Zionist agent.” Palombo, outraged by the rhetoric, responded with the mural.<\/p>\n

The vandalism has drawn a backlash across Italy. Mario Venezia, head of Italy\u2019s Holocaust memorial museum, called it a “demented act” that “damages walls but not history.” Italian Democratic Party<\/a> official Piero Fassino also condemned the act, calling it a “cowardly assault on Holocaust memory.”<\/p>\n

Palombo\u2019s murals frequently tackle hot-button issues. Last year, he created a mural showing Holocaust victim Anne Frank next to a young Palestinian girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His mural portraying Vlada Patapov, the “girl in red” who survived the Hamas attack during the Nova festival on October 7, 2023, was also defaced almost immediately after being completed.<\/p>\n

“The antisemitic fury unleashed by Hamas is overwhelming Jews in every part of the world, this horror that re-emerges from the past must make us all reflect because it undermines freedom, security and the future of us all,” Palombo told EuroNews<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Terrorism is the very denial of humanity and has nothing to do with resistance, it uses people with aim [the] to divide and drag them into the abyss of its evil, into an infernal vortex that has no end. There can be no peace until terrorism is eradicated; [legitimizing] it means condemning to death the whole humanity,” Palombo added.<\/p>\n

Rome\u2019s Shoah Museum condemned the vandalism in a statement, saying “these acts not only harm art but undermine the value of Memory, which is fundamental for building a conscious and just society”.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
