Leaders in government and the Jewish community gathered again at Boston’s Holocaust memorial Tuesday afternoon to condemn hatred, and vow never to forget the lessons of the past, after a panel in the monument was smashed for the second time this summer.
“As Boston we stand together in solidarity with our diverse community and our diverse nation,” Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said in a news conference. “We give that same message today as we pick up the broken pieces of glass and rebuild that panel together.”
He was joined by Malden Mayor Gary Christenson, who says he was “completely disheartened” to learn that the suspected vandal, a 17-year-old boy, was from his city.
“I was completely disheartened for the city of Malden,” he said, “but not defeated.”
