Anti-Semitic Vandals Strike in Los Angeles

By JTA March 15, 2012

Swastikas were drawn on cars, mailboxes and homes in a heavily Jewish Los Angeles neighborhood.

The swastikas reportedly were drawn on at least three homes early Wednesday morning in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Sherman Oaks.

All of the victims of the vandalism are Jewish, according to NBC in Los Angeles. One of the victims is the daughter of survivors of Auschwitz.
