Wisconsin: FBI Investigating 6 Anti-Semitic Incidents As Hate Crime

hcrJewish leaders are upset after six anti-Semitic signs recently appeared in northeastern Wisconsin.

A Wisconsin Public Radio report says the signs appeared in Algoma in late July and were quickly removed. Police and the FBI are investigating the incident as a hate crime.

Elana Kahn-Oren is with the Milwaukee Jewish Federation. She says 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. Algoma officials issued a statement saying the city won�t tolerate signs that are threatening or discriminatory.

The Anti-Defamation League is offering a $1,500 reward to find the perpetrators.
