Religious symbols

A mural marking the deportation of Thessaloniki's Jews to Nazi death camps during World War II has been defaced for a second time, the community group that commissioned it said.

A lot has been said about Manolis Glezos, the proud Greek who was the first to publicly stand up to the Nazis and humiliate Hitler by taking down the swastika flag from the Acropolis.

Some of the neo-Nazi symbols uncovered by the newspaper were apparently painted on the walls of the city buildings in 2015 or perhaps even earlier, with authorities for some reason apparently doing little to get rid of this graffiti.

A court in the Croatian city of Split fined the Football Federation and its director for not properly inspecting a pitch on which a swastika had been imprinted before an international match in 2015.

When hundreds of hardcore fans of Italy’s Hellas Verona Seria A football club chanted “Adolf Hitler is my friend” and sang that their team embraced the swastika, at a festive gathering in the summer, Italian Jewish communities complained - and waited.

An enormous swastika was discovered by construction workers at a sports field in Hamburg on Tuesday. Excavators were preparing the foundations for new changing rooms at Billstedt-Horn sports club when they unearthed a four-by-four meter concrete swastika. The sports club believes that this is all that remains of a Nazi-era monument which once stood next to the playing field.

A Canadian village has refused to remove swastikas from a local park after an activist tried to paint over the controversial symbols.

The Nazi emblems are on an anchor that is on display in Pointe-des-Cascades, about 50 miles west of Montreal in Quebec.

It’s in the human nature to seek logic in everything, but when a giant group of larches bloomed in a pine forest forming a swastika sign, it’s hard to find any logical sense. Outside of the northeast German town, Zernikov, a patch of larch trees cover 4,300 sq yds of the pine forest, carefully arranged to look like a swastika sign.

BELGRADE - Argentine archaeologists, on a private property in a forest about 60 km from any kind of civilization and the nearby city of San Carlos de Bariloche, found the grave of Adolf Hitler, reports Serbian daily "Kurir".

Croatian members of the European Parliament condemned the imprinting of a swastika on the pitch at an international football match last week but asked UEFA not to punish the country’s team.
