Warsaw Ghetto memorial defaced with anti-Israel graffiti

JL;DR SUMMARY A memorial at the Umschlagplatz in Warsaw, where Jews were deported to concentration camps during the Holocaust, was recently vandalized with graffiti equating the Holocaust to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
