Monument For LGBTQ+ Holocaust Victims Vandalized In Berlin

German authorities are investigating whether there is a connection between two arson attacks that were carried out in central Berlin that targeted three Holocaust memorials. Among the memorials was one dedicated to the LGBTQ+ people who died during the Nazi regime. Recently, arsonists attempted to burn a monument in Berlin-Tiergarten dedicated to LGBTQ+ people persecuted under the National Socialist government. An unknown person threw a burning object at the memorial with a note containing a modified version of a Bible verse regarding gay people. The monument, which was erected in 2008, didn't suffer permanent damage. Later that day, a book box at the “Gleis 17,” or Platform 17, Holocaust memorial in Grunewald, caught fire. A man allegedly set fire to a box inside the former phone booth that serves as a free book exchange location. Firefighters extinguished the flames, but almost all of the books had been destroyed by the fire. In the book box, the majority of the books were about Jewish life in Berlin during the Nazi era and the persecution of the Jews during that period. #Road To Stonewall
