The Ottawa Police Service’s Hate and Bias Crime Unit is investigating after the paint was discovered on the monument along the Kichi Zibi Mikan, just west of downtown Ottawa. A photo sent to CTV News Ottawa showed the words “Feed Me” painted in large letters on the monument. “We were disgusted to learn that the National Holocaust Monument was defaced overnight,” Adam Silver, president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa, said in a statement posted on Facebook. “This is not just vandalism; it is an act of desecration against the memory of six million Jews and millions of other victims murdered in the Holocaust. It is an attack on Holocaust remembrance and on the dignity of survivors, their families, and our entire community.”
