(Jewish Group) Antisemitic vandals target Jewish-owned cafe
A JEWISH cafe owner in Melbourne has warned, “We won’t let history come back” after her business was defaced with antisemitic graffiti early this morning (Thursday).
Aliza Shuvaly, who runs Aliza’s Place Cafe in Chadstone, arrived at work to find the words “The Holocaust is a lie” scrawled on her back fence, along with a swastika.
Speaking to The AJN, Shuvaly said she never thought she would experience antisemitism in Melbourne.
“I cannot ignore this symbol,” Shuvaly said. “All my family were Holocaust survivors – my mother’s parents, my husband’s parents – and for me it’s hurting twice.
“I started to shake, I didn’t know what to do.”
