More anti-semitic graffiti in Rome

Anti-Semitic graffiti has appeared in Rome for the second time in less than a month, apparently the work of the same neo-Nazi group.

Slogans denying the Holocaust were found daubed on a bridge on the outskirts of the city on Friday morning, a day after the 65th anniversary of the WWII deportation of thousands of Jews from Rome to the Nazi death camps.

''The Holocaust Is The Biggest Lie In History,'' one slogan said, citing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The message was signed by a group calling itself 'Militia'.

On September 25 the group defaced the walls of Rome's historic Verano Cemetery with similar graffiti.

One slogan attacked Senate Speaker Renato Schifani for a visit to Auschwitz the previous day, saying ''Schifani You'll Be The Jew''.
