(JEWISH GROUP) Swastikas tagged at former Nazi transit camp near Paris
Two swastikas have been found spray-painted on buildings in a Paris suburb that served as a World War II transit camp for some 63,000 Jews deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
The Drancy internment camp served as the main departure point for Jewish deportees from France to Nazi death camps between August 1941 and August 1944.
The two swastikas were drawn in two different buildings. One measured a few centimetres across, while the other was nearly one metre (3.2 feet) in diameter.
A candidate in the upcoming municipal elections spotted the swastikas Wednesday while campaigning, before notifying memorial associations, he told AFP.
