Detroit synagogue vandalised with swastikas

A synagogue in Detroit, Michigan, was vandalised with swastika graffiti.

Rabbi Mendel Polter of Woodward Avenue Synagogue in Oak Park, Detroit reported that a swastika and pro-Nazi propaganda was spray-painted on the front of the building on 1st May.

In the same week, a swastika was also painted on a buggy in the Oak Park area. Rabbi Polter responded to these incidents, stating: “Unfortunately this has been part of our experience for thousands of years, but in the last few years it has become more prominent.”

The vandals are yet to be found.

According to the FBI, over 60 percent of hate crimes against a religious minority are motivated by antisemitism.
