A swastika was left on a wall of the Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza in Philadelphia
A Holocaust memorial in Philadelphia has been vandalised with a swastika as acts of antisemitism continue to rise across the country.
The Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza said in a post that earlier this weekend, an unidentified figure vandalised a wall of the plaza, drawing a large swastika.
The memorial’s post described it as “a disgusting act of antisemitism that comes amid a staggering spike in anti-Jewish hatred across Philadelphia and the country more broadly”.
While the swastika graffiti has been removed from the wall, according to NBC, the organisation is asking anyone who may have any information about the vandalism to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.
Yup.
On another thought; Something I’ve been thinking a lot of the last couple years is that I feel it’s intentional. I wish I could get it out of my head. But I feel like we’ve all been suckered into this false story of glory. It never was.
There’s line in the movie Leave the World Behind that I really liked. It was talking about the Friends TV show.
“It’s almost as if it’s nostalgic for a time that never existed.”
