DENVER - A Denver synagogue was damaged with graffiti overnight. Swastikas were drawn on the synagogue on south Monaco Parkway.

The graffiti was in the doorway and across a sign. There were also several symbols drawn on the back wall of the building.

A holocaust survivor who saw the graffiti says it was almost too much to take. There was no official response available from the congregation Saturday, although several people who called 9NEWS to report the damage said that they blamed Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of the Christ” for rekindling anti-Semitism.

Members of the congregation will gather Sunday morning to start cleaning off the graffiti.

Here's hoping they catch them and put an end to it before things get out of hand.

It looks like you both found your way to the article posted by hellinahandcart, and hopefully the links worked for you there. I, too, pray that the perpetrator(s) of these crimes is/are found quickly.

My bad. I've heard it mentioned enough in "serious" conversation lately that I took it seriously. Sorry.

You mean insinuations like "The Passion" fomented the sentiments responsible for the desecration?

Anyways, it's not like there haven't been instances of Jews desecrating their own cemetaries and synogogues for political gain, right?
