Vandals paint Nazi swastikas on Northern Michigan synagogue
HANCOCK, MI – A day that was meant to celebrate multicultural inclusiveness in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula was marred by an act of vandalism.
Nazi symbols were found spray painted on a synagogue in Hancock on the same day as the community’s Parade of Nations that annually includes about 3,000 visitors from more than 60 countries, The Daily Mining Gazette reports.
