CBS New York: Long Island Hebrew School Hacked with Antisemitic Messages

Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County’s Chair, Andrea Bolender, was interviewed by Carolyn Gussoff for a story that aired on CBS New York about North Shore Hebrew Academy’s website being hacked with antisemitic messages. Andrea said:

“I wear my dad’s numbers every day,” said Andrea Bolender, chairperson for Nassau County’s Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center.

She says she feels for the students who discovered it.

“I’m sure it’s fear, confusion, a little bit more frightening, but for children of survivors and survivors, what we are feeling really is more like terror,” Bolender said.

She says the answer to such ignore is always education, but it’s not clear yet if the perpetrators are local. The FBI has joined the investigation.
