Comments
A 2013 email forwarded a news report that showed anti-Semitic hate crimes in Algoma, WI:
“FBI investigating anti-Semitic incident:
ALGOMA, Wis. —Jewish leaders are upset after six anti-Semitic signs recently appeared in northeastern Wisconsin. A Wisconsin Public Radio report says the signs appeared here in late July and were quickly removed. Police and the FBI are investigating the incident as a hate crime. According to Elana Kahn-Oren of the Milwaukee jewish Federation, some of the signs said something to the effect of, ‘Jews get out, Jew go back to where you came from.’ Others had language such as ‘Kill the jews, keep Algoma clean.’ Kahn-Oren hopes the incident serves as a wakeup call for Algoma and the whole state.”
