Ridgewood NJ, this was shared on Facebook by Ridgewood resident Dana Glazer ; the discovery of this swastika at the intersection of Northern Parkway and Overbrook Road. It has evidently been here a while.

If you think that our village is immune to hatred, think again. Dana asks everyone to “Please be vigilant. Thank you.”

Mayor Susan Traina Knudsen is on top of the situation and prompt removal will occur today.

Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal reminds us of law enforcement efforts to investigate and prosecute bias incidents/crimes, including the need to report such events and the $10K reward offered by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office for information leading to a bias crime conviction.
