The ADC has condemned the defacing of a Bialik College billboard in Caulfield advertising the school’s Open Day with a Nazi swastika.
Dr Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the ADC, issued the following statement:
“It is beyond condemnation that anyone would deface a Jewish school billboard with the Nazi swastika—the symbol of an evil regime responsible for the murder of 1.5 million children in the Holocaust. Vandalism often leads to violence, and we should all be worried that the individuals responsible for such disturbing expressions of bigotry are walking our streets. This despicable and cowardly act comes on the heels of a sharp spike in neo-Nazi graffiti in this area, and must be recognised as an attack on the entire community. Such acts are designed to publicly send a message of intimidation and hate, and it’s important these types of acts are condemned by our leaders and that those who are trying to sow fear in the hearts of residents are held to account.”
