STORM ANORAK

Amsterdam (JTA) — The
man who damaged a monu-
ment dedicated to the libera-
tion of Auschwitz was not
spurred on by anti-
Semitism, but apparently
was a drug addict seeking
revenge against his
employer.
The damage was carried
out on Jan. 31 — the same
day. the monument was
unveiled in a memorial
ceremony — by a 38-year-old
Amsterdam heroin addict
who worked as a freelance
assistant at the glass
manufacturing firm which
produced the memorial.
The incident immediately
caught the attention of the
Dutch media under the
assumption that it
motivated by anti-Semitism.
But the vandal turned
himself in to police last
week, saying he had been
motivated to damage the
piece of art after noticing
that an error had been made
in the monument's construc-
tion.
The man claimed he acted
on orders from the factory's
manager. However, the
manager denied the charge
and said he believed the
vandalism was an act of
revenge for not receiving
money and that no racist or
anti-Semitic motives were
involved.
The manager said the man
has been a heroin addict for
a long time and had asked
him for money to buy drugs.
In his confession to police,
the vandal said he had
climbed over the fence of the
Wertheim public gardens,
where the monument stood,
and attacked the memorial
with a pickax. The
memorial's six large hori-
zontal glass plates were
splintered.
He showed police the
pickax, as well as a receipt
for the tool, which he bought
the previous day.
The manager of the glass
manufacturing firm said the
attempt to implicate him
was absurd. He said that if
there had been any fault in
the monument — and he de-
nied there was any — it
could have been easily
removed at practically no
cost.
Hans Westra, director of
the Anne Frank Foundation,
said the emotions caused by
the damage to the monu-
ment are understandable
but cautioned against
automatically ascribing
vandalism to racism or anti-
Semitism.
