Idaho Anne Frank Memorial Defaced With Nazi Propaganda

The Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial in downtown Boise, Idaho, was tagged with Nazi propaganda sometime between Monday evening and Tuesday morning. The memorial spans nearly an acre along the Boise River, situated in the heart of the community. A visitor was out for a morning walk through the park and realized the memorial had been vandalized.

Nine stickers with swastikas were placed throughout the memorial. The Boise Police Department said it is reviewing surveillance video in its investigation.

Mayor Lauren McLean said acts of hatred are not the Boise way. "This is not normal — the rhetoric we've seen over the past days and months has no place in our community," she said in a statement. "Bad actors who use racist and violent rhetoric are not welcome in this community."
