Vandalism came shortly after Germany dedicated site

Updated: 5:03 p.m. ET May 13, 2005BERLIN – Within hours of the opening of Germany’s national Holocaust memorial to the public, a vandal scratched a swastika into one of the 2,711 gray slabs, a spokesman for the memorial said Friday.
The small swastika was spotted by security guards and quickly removed, though the vandal was not caught, spokesman Uwe Neumaerker said.
“What else can we do?â€? he said. “There are some security forces and they walk through and if they find something they remove it. … You can’t be everywhere at once.â€?
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe was officially inaugurated Tuesday after years of debate and delay. It opened to the public Thursday.
Nothing pithy to say, other than I despise human nature at times.
