(JEWISH GROUP) All The Swastikas And Broken Glass Since Charlottesville
THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP!! RESPECT!
On Aug. 14 two days after the nation watched in horror as hundreds of well-armed neo-Nazis and other white supremacists held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia a 17-year-old boy in downtown Boston allegedly picked up a rock and threw it through one of the six tall glass towers that make up the New England Holocaust Memorial.
Each tower is made of 22 glass panels and engraved with thousands of numbers representing the 6 million Jews murdered by Nazis during World War II. The rock reduced one of those panels to tiny glass shards strewn across the sidewalk, later swept into dustpans by city workers.
A day later, an unknown person shattered the glass doors at the Khal Adas Yereim synagogue in Queens, New York just hours after the nation watched in disbelief as the president of the United States described the white supremacists in Charlottesville as fine people. The synagogue is less than 3 miles from the presidents childhood home.
A Khal Adas Yereim member sent a photo of the shattered doors to the Documenting Hate project, a partnership between ProPublica and numerous news outlets, including HuffPost. A New York City Police Department spokesperson says the department is investigating the incident, but wont say whether a suspect has been identified.
