A swastika and other graffiti were painted on the wall of the former ghetto in Krakow. "Whores Jews, get the f*** out of Poland" alongside the swastika were discovered drawn with a tar-like substance on Tuesday — the second day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Municipal services painted over the graffiti on the same day.
Police investigated in the area of Limanowskiego Street; there are no suspects.
"While I was extremely upset to see the hateful graffiti on the ghetto wall, especially on Rosh Hashanah, the quick reaction by the city and the police reminded me why Krakow is such a good place to be a Jew," said Jonathan Ornstein, director of the Jewish Community Center of Krakow.

In 2018, the US Congress approved Law 447, or the Justice for Uncompensated Survivors Today, or JUST act, which insures that those who survived World War II or their heirs receive compensation for their losses, if it has not already happened. The Confederation is a right-wing political group that opposes the restitution of Jewish property.
Adam Bartosz of the Committee for the Protection of Monuments of Jewish Culture in Tarnow said he believes that the vandalism is associated with the current election campaign for the Polish national parliament. He announced a lawsuit against the Confederation Party.
Confederation activists in Tarnow claim they had nothing to do with the inscription.
They absolutely INVITE cowardly "victims" (sic) to conduct mini false flags.
