Dozens of swastikas and anti-Semitic messages -- including "Heil Hitler" and "No Jews Allowed" -- were drawn on a school playground in New York City, the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (February 25, 2019).
The chalk drawings at a P.S. 139 in Rego Park, in the borough of Queens, were discovered by the custodian on February 22.
Meanwhile, two swastikas were discovered yesterday morning at Brighton Playground in the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn, according to the New York Police Department.
The NYPD's Hate Crimes Unit is investigating both incidents. This year, 36 anti-Semitic crimes have been reported in the city compared to 21 at this time last year.
