Anti-Semitic Rhetoric On School WallsAnti-Semitic Rhetoric On School WallsLooks like my apt. wasn't the only place that came under attack over the weekend. A Jewish kindergarten in Berlin was defaced this weekend and the Nazi sympathizers also threw a smoke bomb into the school.

A tragedy was avoided on Sunday after a smoke bomb, thrown through a window of a Jewish kindergarten in Berlin, failed to ignite.

However, the school, located in a northwest neighbourhood of the German capital, was not spared by the spray painting of swastikas, other Nazi symbols and anti-Semitic phrases, such as “Auschwitz,” “Juden Raus” (Jews, get out) and “Sieg Heil”, on its outer walls, as well as on toys that had been lying around in the school’s playground.

According to the EJP,the attack is exactly three months to the day after a similar incident occured in Croatia where a man who called himself "Adolf Hitler" confessed to taking a crowbar to a Chabad School and smashing all the windows.
