PARIS - Vandals have desecrated a mural painted by Jewish children during World War Two in a transit camp in southern France where they were held before deportation to Nazi Germany, police said Sunday.
The desecration, which a historian reported to police Friday, follows a recent rise in anti-Semitic crimes in France, home to Europe's largest Jewish community of some 600,000.
The mural, a painting of a countryside scene, was found almost completed chipped away. Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin condemned the attack and asked the local prefect to hunt down those responsible.
"He [Villepin] expressed to all those affected and revolted by this desecration the government's profound solidarity and his wish to punish firmly acts that cannot be justified," Villepin's office said in a statement.
Vandals smashed through a wall to get at the mural, which was protected by bars. The abandoned site outside Perpignan, near the French border with Spain, served as a transit camp from 1941 to 1942 under France's collaborationist Vichy regime.
Some 2,000 Jews were held there. Most were then moved to Drancy, near Paris, and then to Nazi concentration camps.
Last month, the Interior Ministry said the number of attacks against Jewish people or property rose in France in the first three months of this year.
Many of the anti-Jewish attacks have been blamed on Muslim youths angry about the situation in the Middle East. France is home to Europe's largest Muslim minority of five million.
There is no doubt in my mind that this was done by Muslims. They hate art, as well as all other aspects of civilization.
Soon to be a majority if the birth and immigration rates remain unchanged.
the Franch are all lost.
Here they go again.
right you are! of course, we can count on this atrocity being covered up, or else blamed on conservative French political elements.
The French are toast.
Huey Long of all people, once observed that no nation that ever brought it's heel down on Jews has survived and prospered. I wonder how France will do.
And even Germany is back in the top 10. Although the anti-semitism in Germany now stems from the Turkish immigrants.
WWII . Amin Al Husseini spent most of the war in Berlin. He was on Hitler's payroll as he lead the Hanzar Division of Muslim SS and played a lead-role in determining the fate of Europe's Jewish community.. From Berlin, Amin Al Husseini helped organize the transfer of Nazi officers into the Middle East

Amin Al Husseini seen inspecting his Hanzar Division made up exclusively of Muslims, mostly from the Crotia/Bosnia/Serbia region. They actively lead the genocide against Serbs, Serbian Jews and Gypsies.
Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe's Jews to the gas chamber. The Third Reich provided Amin Al Husseini with a salary and appointed him Head of the Hanzar SS Division. The Hanzar Division was made of Nazi Muslims and implemented the genocide of 250,000 Serbs, Gypsies and Jews during WWII.

Yasser Arafat became a disciple of Amin Al Husseini since the age of 17. Here: recent picture of Palestinian soldiers under the leadership of Arafat making the traditional Nazi salute.
I couldn't despise France more, so no comment.
It's Franch not French. Get it straight man.
"right you are! of course, we can count on this atrocity being covered up, or else blamed on conservative French political elements."
It it surprising that this is happening?

WARNING: This is a high volume ping list
France = Ithaca = home to evil.
"And even Germany is back in the top 10. Although the anti-semitism in Germany now stems from the Turkish immigrants."
Almost 40% of Germans now admit to strong anti-Semitic feelings. Also, what they call the "new anti-Semitism" is directed at the delitimization and hatred of Israel, and 34% of Germans don't believe that Israel should exist.
This is today.
Quite true....very few rugs from Islamic countries have any art that represents a life form. It's forbidden but a few Persian rug villages do it anyhow.
wow. big bump for some great info that I did not know. makes perfect sense.
