A neo-Nazi was convicted Friday of desecrating nearly 70 Jewish graves at a suburban cemetery with spray-painted swastikas and other anti-Semitic graffiti.
An official for Westlawn Cemetery found it appropriate that Mariusz Wdziekonski was convicted of the felony vandalism charges during Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights in the Jewish faith. snip
The Norridge man spray-painted swastikas, Nazi slogans and slurs -- including "Aryan power" and "white power" -- on the cemetery markers during a January 2008 vandalism spree. snip
But the felony convictions mean Wdziekonski, a Polish immigrant who has been in the United States since 2004, ultimately could face deportation, authorities said.
