Marshfield, Wis – Marshfield residents woke up twice this summer to find antisemitic pamphlets mysteriously dropped on their properties, the second incident Wednesday northeast of the Wildwood Zoo.
The pamphlets were placed in clear plastic bags and left on lawns along Schmidt Avenue, south of West 14th Street, as well as Devine Drive and West 17th Street. They were not addressed to anyone in particular. Based on interviews with recipients of the pamphlets, they do not appear to be aimed at Jewish households.
Affected residents said it was strange and disagreed with what was written. They did not know who had left the leaflets and several said they had thrown the papers away. The pamphlets contained unsubstantiated claims such as “gun control is Jewish” and that “every single aspect of the Biden administration is Jewish.”
At the bottom of the leaflets it says: “These leaflets are distributed randomly with no malicious intent”.
This is the second time antisemitic pamphlets have been left at Marshfield Yards this summer, with a similar incident in late June in another part of the city, according to a June 27 police report.
