Drivers on headed north on Interstate 5 Saturday to view the eclipse were greeted with a jarring sight: anti-Semitic banners on overpasses.

Jimmy Marr, a Springfield neo-Nazi known for his public displays of racism and anti-Semitism, seemed to take credit for the banners Sunday on social media. Marr, 64, tweeted pictures of the signs and news articles about them.

When Gov. Kate Brown repudiated the banners on social media, Marr, who online goes by the username @GenocideJimmy, wrote "Truth is hate to those who hate the truth."

He also posted photos Sunday evening of people holding up new signs, which read "Bolshevik Jews perpetrated the Holodomor" and "Resist Racial Eclipse," flanked by swastikas.

Anti-Semitic signs were first reported to the Oregon Department of Transportation on Saturday by Beth and Michael Dershowitz, Californians driving north to see the eclipse.

The couple told The Oregonian/OregonLive they were shocked to see the banners in the Eugene and Salem areas, which read "UnJew Humanity," "Eclipse Whitey," and "Jewish Financing Available."
