Anti-Defamation league offers reward for Hillel graffiti info

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the individual(s) responsible for the profane graffiti on a sign announcing the new UC San Diego Hillel Center in La Jolla.

“We hope this reward facilitates the quick apprehension of whoever is behind this hateful vandalism” said Tammy Gillies, ADL San Diego Regional Director. “The graffiti, which includes lettering similar to a swastika, and derogatory language, impacts the entire community. This kind of hateful message is meant to be troubling to all who see it, but especially to the Jewish community targeted by this anti-Semitism and vandalism. We commend the San Diego Police Department for investigating these hateful acts.”

Anyone with information about the vandalism is encouraged to speak directly with the San Diego Police Department, or submit a tip to Crime Stoppers by calling (888) 580-8477 or going to crimestoppers.org
