Hate crimes still exist. In Hollywood Florida. Just blocks from home. To a store I have patronized and to a person I know. I have a little necklace from that store. A Jewish star that you can pull apart so that it looks like a string of tiny butterflies. I also saw it for sale at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. Why does it pull apart? So you can quickly hide that you are wearing a symbol that says you are Jewish. Because hate, as well as hate crimes, still exists.
I learned at Yad Vashem that Jews tolerated hatred, ridicule and acts of violence - like the one at Holyland Judaica - until those crimes escalated to mass murder. Never again!
