Union Station in Washington D.C. vandalised with swastikas
Washington Union Station was vandalised with swastikas, it was reported on Friday.
Photographs uploaded to Twitter show the Nazi symbol scrawled across the train station’s columns in black marker.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington said on Twitter that it was “disturbed by this video of a swastika taken this morning just outside @wmata at DC’s Union Station,” adding: “This antisemitic and hateful symbol has no place in our society, and to find it in our city the week of International Holocaust Remembrance Day is particularly offensive.”
Amtrak confirmed in a statement that they would be investigating the matter alongside the Metropolitan Police Department.
The railroad service added: “Amtrak strongly condemns this act of hatred and will work with our landlord, USRC and their lessor to remove these symbols as quickly as possible.”
