Anti-Semitic Crimes Continue to Prevail on Crete As Hoodlums Carve Swastikas on Teacher's Arm

Police on Crete are seeking two men who carved swastika symbols on the arm of a 27-year-old teacher on Wednesday night (February 24, 2010)-- the latest in a string of anti-Semitic crimes on the island in the past two months.

The woman was attacked while getting into her car in the Halepa suburb of Hania by two masked youths who used a razor blade to carve two Nazi symbols onto the skin of her left arm and another three on her jacket sleeve, according to Ekathimerini website.

Police say they believe the perpetrators had targeted her because she had been offering Greek language lessons to the children of immigrants.

This week's attack follows a string of recent assaults on migrants, and two separate fires that were set on a synagogue in Hania in January, 2010.
