A Hanukkah menorah placed in the middle of the Ukrainian capital was pulled down last week by a perpetrator who then posted the attack online.
The hanukkiah had been erected in Kiev s Kontraktova Square by the local Jewish community to mark the holiday of Hanukkah, but was pulled down on Thursday by a local man known for committing acts of anti-Semitism in the past.
