Police investigating swastikas daubed at primary school
The police have launched an investigation into the daubing of anti-Semitic graffiti at a Primary school.
London’s Jewish safety patrol Shomrim posted tweets on December 18 and 22 showing the swastikas at the entrance to local non-Jewish, Jubilee Primary School in Stoke Newington.
A volunteer for Shomrim said that “In Hackney, where there are a lot of orthodox Jews and especially you have got a lot of Holocaust survivors living there and children of Holocaust survivors. When they see it, it means a lot to them.”
“This was on the school’s notice board by the main entrance for the kids coming in every day.”
“We’ve never seen something like this on a school before.”
