Boston Police Seek Help in Holocaust Memorial Vandalism

Two recent incidents have highlighted a troubling rise in antisemitic acts. In New York City, a 65-year-old man was assaulted by a stranger who spat in his face and declared, 'Hitler was right.' The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating, noting a significant increase in anti-Jewish offenses recently. Meanwhile, in Boston, police are seeking public assistance to identify a man who vandalized the Holocaust Memorial on Union Street around 8:50 p.m. on August 23. The suspect, captured on surveillance, has distinctive tattoos and was wearing a white sleeveless shirt. This is not the first time the memorial has been targeted; it has faced multiple vandalism incidents over the years.
