PORTLAND At least one person struck the Oregon Holocaust Memorial in Southwest Portland’s Washington Park, scrawling swastikas across the memorial’s stone wall, city officials said.
The vile vandalism, written in white, also included the numbers “1488,” a symbol popular among neo-Nazis and other white supremacists, a photo reviewed by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows.
Police notified parks bureau staff of the anti-Semitic graffiti about 11 a.m. Sunday, said Mark Ross, a Portland Parks & Recreation spokesman.
Maintenance crews later managed to remove the graffiti, Ross said, adding that the vandalism remains under investigation by police.

An indictment was filed in the Eastern District of New York against Richard Dale Sterritt Jr., Michael Greer, Robert Magness, Mark Ross, and Robyn Straza charging them with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, among other offenses.

With Clark County’s COVID-19 activity rising for the sixth consecutive week and approaching levels not seen since mid-February, will schools scale back their newly implemented expanded in-person instruction?
Highly unlikely.
In a year with ever-changing instructional models, district officials remain hopeful things will remain status quo with only seven weeks left in the 2020-21 academic calendar while continuing to monitor COVID-19 data.
