A swastika drawn on the gate post of a childcare centre in Sydney has raised the ire of The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies.
Although the Rose Bay centre is not a Jewish establishment, the majority of the children attending it are Jewish.
A spokesperson for the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies said they condemn “in the strongest possible terms” the daubing of a Nazi swastika outside a childcare centre.
The graffiti was noticed by centre staff yesterday and has since been removed.
NSW Police Force are aware of the incident and are reviewing CCTV.
Anyone caught displaying a Nazi symbol in NSW without a reasonable excuse can now face a maximum 12 months’ jail or an $11,000 fine, or both.
If you or anyone you know has information about this incident, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or the Community Security Group on 1300 000 274.
