Investigators on the hunt for the bigots who terrorized a heavily Jewish Brooklyn enclave are lifting fingerprints from empty beer bottles found near the scene.

“We've recovered from the scene 27 empty Corona b*ottles, so those will be tested for fingerprints as well as DNA,” Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said Saturday.

The anti-Semitic attack in Midwood was carried out Friday — a day after the anniversary of Kristallnacht, a violent prelude to the Holocaust when Nazis attacked synagogues and other Jewish establishments in Germany in 1938.

Authorities believe the boozed-up bigots chose to strike close to one of history's darkest days.

“Whoever it is is reasonably intelligent because I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all that they chose to do this horrific thing that near the anniversary of Kristallnacht,” Hynes said.

The vandals torched three parked cars along an Ocean Parkway block, spray-painted Nazi swastikas on nearby benches and scrawled “f--k the Jews” on a sidewalk. On the side of a van, they wrote, “KKK.”

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.

City Councilman David Greenfield’s office and the Anti-Defamation League are offering a total of $5,000 for information about the culprits.

On the vandalized block between Avenues I and J, Parks Department workers spent the day cleaning up debris from the charred cars.

Residents said they fear the vandals will strike again.

“I'm scared. Someone is trying to send our community a message,” said Sam Khaton, 58, who has lived in the neighborhood for 15 years.

“It's a message of hate. The community is just in shock. Who would do this?”
