Statement on Antisemitic Hacking of North Shore Hebrew Academy’s Website

The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) condemns the hacking of the North Shore Hebrew Academy’s website and the anti-Semitic images and slurs that were posted. These hateful words and images are traumatic at any time, even more disturbing during Hanukkah. The display of Nazi symbolism and any other indicators of hate have no place online, on Long Island or anywhere in the world. It is critical that we are ever vigilant to take action to counteract anti-Semitism, hate and fear, and to heal the divisions in our society.

This hacking attack further emphasizes the need to educate adults and young people on the history of the Holocaust and the lessons for how people should and must conduct themselves today. HMTC is prepared to work with the students, teachers and staff of North Shore Hebrew Academy, and the community, to safely and effectively deal with hateful actions like these.
