Eugene, Ore. – The community rallied against antisemitism Friday
after finding some troubling graffiti scrawled on a bulletin board in downtown
Eugene earlier in the week.
The hateful message was found Wednesday on the announcement board at the
Eugene Public Library.
“This particular flyer was an
event, a talk at the University of Oregon that’s happening on April 27 about
the holocaust,” said Connie Bennett of the Eugene Public Library, “It ended up
being a target for defamation.”
She said the antisemitic designs and words were even more alarming
because of the recent shooting at a Kansas synagogue.
“Under the constitution
it’s limited public forum, which means that anything can be put on it,”
said Bennett.
Library staff removed the poster before contacting police.
