Charlottesville,
VA – Antisemitic graffiti was spotted Sunday outside of the GrandMarc
apartment complex on 15th Street.
“The
imagery painted at GrandMarc is intended to intimidate Jewish students and make
them feel uncomfortable in their community,” Student Council and the Jewish
Leadership Council said in a joint statement Sunday night.
The
groups characterized the graffiti, which depicted an orange Star of David with
the word “Juden” underneath it, as hate speech.
Juden
is the German word for Jews.
