Broward County Public Schools announced there was yet another finding of anti-semitic graffiti on Tuesday and warned there are ongoing investigations to find the culprits.
A vandal spray-painted a swastika and a student reported it on Tuesday morning at Western High School in Davie. The symbol is widely associated with neo-Nazism ideology and it was also on display at the same school on Friday.
Westglades Middle School in Parkland recently had the same type of vandalism. Even after workers removed the graffiti, the images struck terror in many Jewish students.
Many of the students at Western High School didn’t know why there was outrage.
They didn’t know that Adolf Hitler appropriated the swastika as part of the official emblem of the Nazi Party. They also didn’t know that it symbolized Hitler’s “mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man.”
A mission that under Hitler’s German Reich Flag fueled antisemitism. It also justified the antisemitic laws that paved the way for the Holocaust, the best-documented case of genocide. An estimated 6 million Jews were killed from 1941 to 1945.
The vandals’ hate speech at Western High School and Westglades Middle School cut deep for at least one student who told his mother he was afraid to go back to school.
