Seven museums are condemning the vandalism of a Seattle exhibit where the words ‘Genocide in Gaza’ were scrawled over a photo of a child who survived the Nazi genocide. The museums emphasize that the scapegoating of Jews has a long history that extends beyond the Holocaust.
Despite the disturbing nature of the act, Seattle police have stated that it is not being classified as a hate crime. This decision has sparked outrage and disbelief among many, including the museums that are dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust and educating the public about the atrocities committed against the Jewish people.
This incident serves as a reminder that antisemitism and hatred towards Jews are still prevalent in society today. It is crucial to continue raising awareness and speaking out against such acts of discrimination and bigotry.
