Wiesenthal Centre Charges Vandalism of Simone Veil Monument, for Raising More Questions than Answers
Paris, 14 August 2021
“Since the death of French Holocaust survivor and politician Simone Veil, several memorials in her memory around the country have been vandalised. The latest, in a small Brittany town, raises queries as the stone monument was, apparently, attacked three times in the past week. On each occasion, further swastikas and other antisemitica were added,” stated Dr. Shimon Samuels, the Centre's Director for International Relations.
“It is unbelievable that the authorities responded publicly only on the third occasion,” he added.

The decision has been rendered public this morning 13 August by the Quai d'Orsay (Foreign Ministry).
“This success is due to the parties and NGO’s who brought the matter to the attention of the French government, including the Wiesenthal Centre,” claimed the Centre’s Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels.
