Statement By Assemblyman Hikind After 40 Headstones Overturned In Jewish Cemetery In Midwood Brooklyn


wcAssemblyman Dov Hikind (D, Brooklyn) led a press conference this morning to discuss the desecration of Washington Cemetery in Brooklyn, one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in the world. The Assemblyman was alerted last night about the vandalism and was immediately in touch with the police to make certain that the matter was being investigated. Members of Hikind’s staff immediately met with the police and the local Shomrim.

“More than 40 headstones were overturned,” said Hikind. “It’s heartbreaking—not just to the loved ones of those who are buried here, but to all of us. Is there anything more cowardly than desecrating a cemetery in the middle of the night?

“Anti-Semitism exists, but we don’t have to tolerate it, and we won’t. I can promise you that. I met with the police this morning at the cemetery, the top brass from Brooklyn South, and I see that this matter is being taken very seriously. When the criminals who did this are caught, we will demand and expect real justice.”

  2. The evidence is that these stones fell as a result of a combination of poor or no maintenance and soil erosion. Shame the Assemblyman hasn’t learned the golden rule “Engage brain in gear before openning mouth”. He has made a fool of himself and the community.

  3. The director of the cemetery has confirmed what I said in my earlier posting. These headstones have long been sitting toppled over or were on the brink of falling and may have finally fallen. No vandalism here, no hate crime here; just Hikind on another publicity stunt.
