"It's a highlight of the cemetery".

"It's a shame. The red paint will disappear, I assume, but to see That kind of level of damage and to see it happen twice, it's not good," he continued.

The marble plaque on The Memorial was attacked with a hammer on 4 February

In 1970 a pipe bomb blew up part of the plaque's marble face, That was first used For Marx 's wife Jenny von Westphalen in 1881.
