A Holocaust memorial in Center City Philadelphia was vandalized in an act of antisemitism early Sunday morning.

Around 1:30 a.m. in the morning, surveillance video shows an unknown suspect walk up to the building located on the 1600 block of Arch Street where the Horowitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza is and spray-paint a swastika symbol on the building.

The memorial is dedicated to those killed in the Holocaust and has been there for decades.

“This has been a sacred place since the 1960s,” Eszter Kutas with the Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation said.

PART TWO:
One of Philadelphia's Holocaust memorials is at the center of a hateful vandalism investigation.

The base of a monument at the Horowtiz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza was littered with piles of trash Tuesday afternoon.

This comes just days after police say a swastika was spray-painted on a wall of the Arch Street memorial.

Surveillance video caught the suspect in the act over the weekend.
