In western Ukraine, Lviv region, village of Velikie Macti ( Великие Мосты , litteraly 'Great Bridge' ) ,some unidentified people desecrated a Holocaust memorial .
The monument was painted up with the words "Death to Jews!" ( смерть жидам , the word 'Жид' means 'Jew' in old slavonic but in the context in modern Russian , the meaning of this word is abusive, contemptuous and anti-Semitic . There is no equivalent in the English language )
On the back side of the monument was painted up a swastika .
This monument was built in 2006 in the village ( where Jews do not live anymore ) , financed by citizens of Israel .
In this place , in 1941, 200 Jews were shot to dead by the fascists , many of these Jews were children.
Police officials said that the authors of this desecration had not been found. The chairman of the County Council of the village, Jaroslav Royko , assured that the monument will be restored very soon.
