An Orthodox Jewish family in Toronto woke up this week to a
swastika and the words “watch your children” scrawled on their garage door, the
Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center said in a news release.
The anti-Semitic vandals entered the family’s garage and
added more graffiti on furniture inside, including a swastika on a baby’s high
chair, according to a report on CTV news.
It was the second time in past weeks the family, which has
young children, had been targeted, according to the report. Previously, vandals
had left a swastika on their car.
“That an individual or group of individuals feel bold enough
to invade someone’s home and attack them because they are Jewish is a very
dangerous turn of events in this city,” said FSWC President and CEO Avi Benlolo
in the statement.
The Star was unable to confirm that police are investigating
the event, though CTV reports that police are taking the incident seriously and
treating it as a hate crime.
