Israeli police arrested three Jewish men suspected of spraying graffiti thanking Hitler for the Holocaust at Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem Holocaust museum earlier this month, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
On June 11, Hebrew graffiti thanking Hitler for the Holocaust and denouncing Zionism was found sprayed at Yad Vashem.
Other slogans read “The Zionist leadership wanted the Holocaust” and “If Hitler hadn’t existed, the Zionists would have invented him.”
Suspicion had fallen on extreme ultra-Orthodox opponents of the state of Israel.
Several ultra-Orthodox groups do not believe a Jewish state should exist without the appearance of the Messiah, of which the best-known is Neturei Karta. Rosenfeld said all three suspects were members of that group.
Similar slogans were sprayed in April at Ammunition Hill, a former Jordanian military post that now houses preserved trenches, battle fortifications and a museum, and at a memorial for Israeli fallen soldiers and policemen in the West Bank’s Jordan Valley.
Rosenfeld said the three suspects would be brought to the Jerusalem magistrate’s court for a remand hearing later on Tuesday.
