Philadelphia Holocaust Memorial Vandalized Twice in Three Days

Police and Homeland Security Investigate as $25,000 Reward Offered for Information

The Horowitz-Wasserman Holocaust Memorial Plaza in Philadelphia has been vandalized twice in three days, with trash dumped at the site and a swastika spray-painted on a nearby wall.
The first act of vandalism occurred on Sunday when a masked individual spray-painted a green swastika on a wall adjacent to the memorial.
The second act occurred on Tuesday when a man, believed to be homeless, was caught on camera dumping trash at the foot of the memorial.
The Philadelphia Police Department and Homeland Security are investigating both incidents, and a $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in the swastika vandalism case.
These incidents come amid a reported 360% increase in domestic antisemitic attacks since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas on Oct. 7.
