Philadelphia Holocaust Memorial Vandalized Amid Rising Antisemitism

Unidentified Perpetrator Captured on Camera; Police Launch Investigation

The Horwitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza in Philadelphia was vandalized with a large swastika on Sunday.
The incident was captured by a surveillance camera, but the perpetrator wore a ski mask and remains unidentified.
The vandalism comes amid a significant increase in antisemitic incidents across the United States, particularly since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
The Philadelphia Police Department has launched an investigation into the incident.
The Anti-Defamation League has documented a 360% increase in reports of antisemitism nationwide compared to the same period last year.
