‘Repulsive Act’: Gravestones At Baltimore Jewish Cemetery Defaced With Swastika Graffiti
By Web Staff
The cemetery was Ohr Knesseth Israel Anshe Sfard located on German Hill Road in Baltimore.
Patoka, the descendant of holocaust victims and survivors, said the symbol is particularly impactful to him. Patoka said Councilman Tod Crandell, who represents the area, has already been in touch with local police. The two initially believed the cemetery was in Dundalk, but it is technically in Baltimore.
“Councilman Crandell and I will continue to do all that we can to ensure the folks responsible for this despicable and repulsive act are held as accountable as possible,” said Patoka.
