Antisemitic graffiti has been found on the walls of the house where Auschwitz survivor Elie Wiesel was born, Romanian police have confirmed.
Among the comments painted in pink on the property was the slogan that Mr Wiesel, who died in 2016, was "in hell with Hitler".
The graffiti was quickly removed and a police spokesperson confirmed that officers were now studying CCTV footage of the house in the northern Romanian town of Sight Marmatiei.
"This grotesque act represents an attack not only on the memory of Elie Wiesel but on all the victims of the Holocaust," said a statement by Romania's National Institute for Holocaust studies, which is named after the writer.
