Visitors to a Holocaust memorial site in the western Ukrainian city of P’yatydni this weekend were shocked to discover anti-Semitic graffiti on a nearby bus stop, including swastikas and the word “Judenreich” or “Jewish empire." 
The graffiti, which also made reference to the World Zionist Organization, featured the names of several Ukrainian political parties surrounding a Star of David.
This is the latest in a string of anti-Semitic vandalism at Jewish sites in Ukraine.
Late last month, officials in the city of Lviv, a bastion of ultra-right wing nationalism, posted video footage of a man vandalizing a local Holocaust memorial online in an effort to enlist the public in identifying him.
While violent anti-Semitic incidents are rare in Ukraine, vandalism against Holocaust memorials and Jewish cemeteries rose following the 2014 EuroMaidan revolution.
