OTTAWA — The National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa was found vandalized this morning with the words “FEED ME” scrawled across it in red paint.

Red paint was splashed on other portions of the monument as well.

Crews have covered parts of the monument in black plastic as they work to remove the paint.

The Ottawa Police Service says it’s investigating and will provide further updates “if required.”

The Ottawa Police Service previously investigated a January 2020 vandalism incident at the monument as a hate crime.

Police released photos of a suspect in that incident who allegedly threw eggs at the monument, which is dedicated to the more than six million Jews killed in the Holocaust.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 9, 2025.
