Copenhagen – A Jewish store in Copenhagen had a window broken and
an antisemitic slur scrawled on its walls in an act of vandalism that comes
just two months after a guard outside a local synagogue was gunned down.
One of the windows of the Jewish delicatessen and kosher store at
Lyngbyvej in Østerbro was smashed and the word “Jødesvin” (Jewish pigs) was
scrawled on a wall.
A police patrol discovered the damage Thursday afternoon.
Danish police have kept a close eye on Jewish institutions since the
Copenhagen shootings on February 14 when a Danish–born man of Palestinian
descent shot dead filmmaker Finn Nørgaard and then a Jewish security guard
outside the city’s main synagogue before being killed by police.
