HATE PERSISTS
More antisemitic graffiti found, at Forest, Highland parks PAGES 6 AND 19 Nearly a week after antisemitic graffiti was discovered at several locations in Central Queens, at least 11 swastikas were found scrawled onto signs, walls and more at Forest and Highland parks May 10, with even more vandalism reported two days later. Area representatives said the incidents are part of an “escalating pattern,” and a rally was held May 10 to denounce the first round of hateful markings.
