A shocking act of antisemitism has occurred in Apolda, Germany, where a pig's head was left in front of the Prager-Haus, a memorial dedicated to a Jewish family murdered during the Holocaust.

The incident, which took place between Friday and Saturday, is being investigated as a hate crime by the state security.

The Prager-Haus honors the memory of Jewish victims of Nazi persecution, making this act particularly offensive.

Local leaders, including Minister-President Mario Voigt and Interior Minister Georg Maier, have strongly condemned the act, calling it a blatant expression of antisemitism.

Authorities are urging the public to provide any information that could help identify the perpetrators.

This incident highlights the ongoing need to combat hate and protect the dignity of memorial sites.
