The piece belongs to the series “Platform 21, the Simpsons deported to Auschwitz”.
“This cowardly anti-Semitic act highlights the danger of indifference, oblivion and forces us into a visual stumbling block that reveals the reality, hatred, racism, cruelty and prejudice toward Jews,” said Palombo.
He painted the murals showing the Simpson family before and after deportation on the side of Milan's Holocaust Memorial on January 27, 2023.
The vandals daubed black paint across the mural featuring the Simpsons in Auschwitz uniform, also covering their yellow Stars of David.
“Any form of distortion of the Holocaust leads to denial and anti-Semitism because it casts doubt on the reality and atrocities of the Holocaust,” added Palombo.
