A pane of glass was shattered last night at the New England Holocaust Memorial -- the second time in less than two months the Boston memorial was vandalized -- the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (August 15, 2017).
A 17-year-old male suspected of the vandalism is in custody, a spokesman for the Boston Police Department said.
In a post on Twitter, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said, "I'm saddened to see such despicable action in this great city."
The same memorial was also damaged just six weeks ago in a previous anti-Semitic hate crime.
