Vandals threw rocks and shattered windows at Hillel House at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
Mark Weintraub, chair of the Canadian Jewish Congress’ Pacific region, noted that the vandalism occurred earlier this week during Holocaust Awareness Week, a coincidence that “further highlights the heinous nature of this crime.”
“This week is the anniversary of Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, when the Nazis began their attacks on German Jews in 1938,” Weintraub said. “Clearly, there are still lessons to be learned.”
