Warwick,
RI – A Jewish cemetery in the Town of Warwick has been brutally vandalized
with anti-Semitic graffiti, just days before Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the
Jewish year.
Members
of Temple Beth Shalom, whose 70-year-old synagogue is in the Village of Florida,
are heartbroken over the large black swastikas they found spray-painted across
the low stone wall that forms the front boundary of the cemetery.
The
vandals also scrawled the words “Heil Hitler” and the letters “SS,” for the
Nazi Schutzstaffel, or military police.
Though
the outer wall can be easily breached, the vandals did not damage any of the
headstones.
