(Jewish Group) Los Gatos JCC tagged with swastika over High Holidays

The Addison-Penzak JCC was defaced with a swastika over the High Holidays, one of three sites in Los Gatos where similar graffiti was found last month.

The JCC vandalism was discovered on Sept. 16. “That was on Yom Kippur,” said the JCC CEO Lael Gray. “We actually were closed that day.”

Police were notified about the three swastikas drawn over the span of a few days, according to a press release sent out on Monday by the city of Los Gatos. One was discovered across the street from the JCC at a private apartment complex; the other was at the retail center Blossom Hill Pavilion.

The JCC graffiti was found by a security guard while fresh and was removed immediately. Gray said the police response was immediate and “amazing.” The incidents are still being investigated.

“We shared what we had — the footage —from that time-frame,” Gray said.
