Holocaust memorial again defaced with anti-Semitic graffiti
LAKEWOOD - A New Jersey synagogue's Holocaust memorial has been vandalized for the second time in less than a year.
Lakewood police say someone spray-painted several anti-Semitic words and phrases—some misspelled—on the memorial at Congregation Sons of Israel. Similar graffiti was also found on the synagogue, while a swastika was spray-painted on a pickup truck parked outside the building.
The vandalism was reported around 11:45am Saturday and apparently occurred sometime during the previous evening.
No one has claimed responsibility for the vandalism. No arrests have been made.
A similar act occurred at the site last July, when vandals posted a banner containing an anti-Jewish slur on the Holocaust memorial.
