‘Holocaust was a scam’ projected on Swedish synagogue
Swedish police are investigating how the words “the Holocaust was a scam” were projected onto the main synagogue in Malmö city.
The projection was seen on the Synagogue of Malmö and on other buildings in cities across southern Sweden on Wednesday night, the day of the Malmö International Forum on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism, Times of Israel reported.
Police are handling the case as a hate crime, the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported.
The Nordic Resistance Movement, a neo-Nazi group, claimed responsibility for the incident, according to Dagens Nyheter.
The conference had brought together heads of state and other prominent government officials from dozens of countries in a city known for its high rates of antisemitism.
Israel’s strikes in Gaza in 2009 triggered a wave of anti-Israeli protests in Malmö, which had then over 1,000 Jews.
The Jewish community in Sweden’s third-largest city has since dwindled down to around 500.
