A New Jersey synagogue's Holocaust memorial has been vandalized for the second time in less than a year.
Lakewood police say someone spray-painted several anti-Semitic words and phrases, some of them misspelled, on the memorial at Congregation Sons of Israel. Similar graffiti was also found on the synagogue itself, while a swastika was spray-painted on a pickup truck parked outside the building.
The vandalism was reported around 11:45 a.m. Saturday.
No one has claimed responsibility for the vandalism and no arrests have been made.
The Anti-Defamation League's New Jersey chapter condemned the vandalism via Twitter.
"It is imperative that this brazen act of anti-Jewish animus be condemned by Lakewood's elected officials, community leaders, religious and faith communities. An attack on the Jewish community is an attack on all communities," it wrote.
A similar act occurred at the site last July, when vandals posted a banner containing an anti-Jewish slur on the Holocaust memorial.
