Jewish cemetery in Brooklyn (OH) vandalized with swastikas painted on headstones [View all]

The Jewish Federation of Cleveland released the following statement shortly after the discovery of the vandalized headstones:

"It is absolutely sickening that anyone could have so much hate for the Jewish people that they would desecrate a cemetery. This cowardly act to violate the memory of our elders only confirms what we already know: the hatred of the Jewish community here and around the world now is at a level not seen in generations.

We will support law enforcement in any way we can to see that those who are responsible face the consequences of their actions. We will restore the damage of the cemetery and return the dignity to the damaged gravesites. And we will continue combat hate against all communities with an unbending resolve."
