New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered State Police to help find vandals who tagged dozens of Swastikas and “Hail Hitler” in a Queens schoolyard. The Nazi symbols were discovered by a school custodian who reported it to the NYPD, Education Department officials said. City Councilman Chaim Deustch, who chairs the Council’s Jewish Caucus, said the incident raises the number of anti-Semitic hate crimes in the city to nearly 50 since the start of 2019. “I am appalled and disgusted by the Swastikas and other anti-Semitic symbols of hate that were scrawled in a Queens schoolyard,” Cuomo said in a statement on Sunday. “In New York, we have zero tolerance for such vile acts of anti-Semitism.”
