Berlin's Holocaust Monument Targeted in Hate-Fueled Attacks on LGBTQ+ Community

TL;DR Summary
German authorities are investigating two arson attacks on Holocaust memorials in Berlin, including one dedicated to LGBTQ+ victims. The monument, erected in 2008, was targeted with a burning object and a modified Bible verse note. Another memorial, a book box at the Grunewald Holocaust memorial, was also set on fire, destroying books about Jewish life during the Nazi era. The attacks highlight the persecution of LGBTQ+ individuals during the Holocaust, with thousands being sent to concentration camps and subjected to horrific treatment. The Berlin-Brandenburg Lesbian and Gay Association expressed shock and called for the perpetrators to be caught.
