(Jewish Group) After swastika incidents, Reading residents rally against anti-Semitism
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)READING — More than once, 17-year-old Tali Shorr said she was told she should learn how to take a joke. The “jokes” were swastikas that have appeared around the town of Reading over the past year and a half.
On Sunday, hundreds gathered for a rally against anti-Semitism on the Town Common, where Shorr spoke about her experience as a Jewish student confronting the Nazi symbol.
“How is the death of 6 million of my people a joke?”
“It’s not to me,” said Shorr, a senior at Reading Memorial High School.
“Hearing these kinds of things said just makes me feel like I don’t have any support in my community, makes me feel unsafe in my community at school, and it also makes me feel kind of scared,” she said.
