[Summit] Anti-semitic signs on Hope Street

[ccancro at cox.net]

Thank you, Paul, for having the wisdom to pull down these signs, scan one, and alert Lieutenant Schiavullo.  I've taken the liberty of cc'ing this exchange to the RI CLU and the New England region of the Anti-Defamation League.

My husband's first cousin once removed was murdered in Auschwitz, so this is pretty close to home.  And while many moons ago I worked on a resource guide to the Holocaust, I don't know how to begin addressing hate crimes. 

Here's hoping we can get some good feedback from the police, the RI CLU, or the ADL.  And for what it's worth, I wish you all a happy new year.
