The rabbi of the Congregation of Cheshire, which owns the cemetery, reported it to the police, he said a congregant, whose husband is buried in that cemetery, came to him in tears and reported seeing swastikas on the nameplate at the entry gate to the cemetery. He said the woman’s husband was a survivor of the Holocaust, imprisoned at Auschwitz, and died only a year and a half ago. He said the woman told him her husband spent his life trying to put the memories of the concentration camp behind him, but even after death it seemed the Nazis were chasing him
Police are looking for anyone with information as to who defiled the cemetery, but there was little evidence pointing to a suspect or even a timeline as to when the graffiti was drawn. Police will be increasing patrols in the area of the Lake Avenue cemetery.
If a suspect is identified they will face very serious charges.
