(JTA) — Anti-Semitic graffiti was spray painted on an Atlanta car wash.
The graffiti was discovered at the Auto Spa Bistro, which is also a restaurant, on Monday.
The graffiti included a swastika, a crossed out Star of David and a reference to the Nazi military, according to local television station WGCL-TV.
The incident is being investigated by Atlanta police as a bias hate crime.
The station reported that employees believe the car wash was targeted because it is black owned.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
