The vandalism at Rodef Sholom Cemetery in Egg Harbor Township happened just before the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
Groundskeeper Dennis Kraus told The Press of Atlantic City he doesn’t believe it was a hate crime. He believes the damage was done by people who come to the cemetery to drink or do drugs.
Vandals caused more than $35,000 in damage at the 110-year-old cemetery in 2006.
If this wasn’t a hate crime (according to the groundskeeper), why didn’t the vandals do this to a gentile cemetery, instead of singling out a Jewish cemetery?
