Vandals drew swastikas and a hate message at a synagogue in Presque Isle, Maine, before Rosh Hashanah. The swastikas were drawn on either side of the front doors of the Aroostook Hebrew Community synagogue. The words “Burn Jews” were also written with a felt-tip marker. No one has been arrested since the graffiti were discovered Saturday evening.
