New England Holocaust Memorial Vandalized on Monday for Second Time This Summer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Boston, Massachusetts, the New England Holocaust Memorial was
vandalized on Monday by a teenager who threw a rock through a glass
panel etched with numbers symbolizing the numbers tattooed on the arms
of Jews and others imprisoned in Nazi Germany concentration camps. It's
the second time this summer that Boston's Holocaust memorial has been
vandalized. Boston's Jewish Community Relations Council said, "The
images of Nazis marching in the streets of America over the weekend in
Charlottesville and now shattered glass once again at this sacred space
in Boston are an affront to our Jewish community and to all those who
stand-up against bigotry, hatred and anti-Semitism."
