Anti-Semitic slogans along with a swastika were painted on the windows of a building in Zurich where a Jewish artist is exhibiting her paintings. The slogans read, “Jews and freaks, out,” and “Dirty Jews, out.” Police are investigating the incident but say they are inclined to believe that the perpetrators are the same “angry young people” who have been staging violent demonstrations for the past year, causing a great deal of property damage and injuring many policemen. Their headquarters is directly opposite the building where the exhibition is being held.
