Vile anti-vaxxer graffiti equating Australia's vaccine rollout to Nazi regime ...

Vile anti-vaxxer graffiti has been sprayed along roadsides comparing Australia's vaccine rollout to Nazi death camps.

'Vaxx Macht Frei' and a swastika appeared on concrete road barriers and on the side of a building at Punt Road and Olympic Boulevard in Melbourne on Thursday.

The words are a play on the Nazi slogan 'Arbeit Macht Frei', which means 'Work sets you free', and appeared on the entrance to Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps.

The vandalism angered the Jewish community and added to a surge in public health measures and Covid-19 vaccinations being likened to the Nazi Germany regime. 

Dvir Abramovich, chairman of Jewish lobby group Anti-Defamation Commission, said in a statement there is no excuse for the 'hateful comparison', which is an insult to those who died during the Holocaust and to those who survived.

'To exploit the slogan used by the Nazis at the entrance of Auschwitz, the site of the largest mass murder in history, where 1.1 million men, women and children were systematically annihilated on an unfathomable scale, is indefensible and cruel,' he said.

'I don't know if these activists enjoy mocking the Holocaust, but they will not escape my condemnation.

'To compare public health measures aimed at saving lives and protecting the public to the state-sponsored 'Final Solution' plan of the Nazi regime is not only an abhorrent act of moral degeneration but also dilutes the suffering and crimes of the Nazi genocide.'

Mr Abramovich fears the increase in comparisons between Covid-19 public health measures by anti-vaxxers and the Holocaust, which he has seen on social media and at protests, will continue.

'Social media has also become a hotbed of trivialisation that showcase a malicious lack of empathy for the suffering of six million Jews and millions of others that perished at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators,' he said.

Mr Abramovich said people were allowed to voice their opinions on Covid-19 vaccinations but should do so without the Holocaust comparisons.

'There are ways to have a reasoned and legitimate debate about vaccines, and people are of course free to voice their opinions, but they should do so without going to the Holocaust playbook,' he said.

Victoria will emerge from its sixth lockdown at 11.59pm on Thursday, five days earlier than previously planned after hitting 70 per cent vaccination.
