A Touching Response to Hate Graffitti From a Child


I came across a story that touched my heart.  In an article by Barbara Becker entitled "The Swastika in Our Neighborhood", she relates the story of how her eight year old son responded to anti-semitic graffitti that they came across in their neighborhood.  He came up with the idea of covering the swastika with a heart that says "choose peace".  We certainly can learn a valuable lesson about tolerance from him.  Barbara, thank you for your touching story and the hope that you have given us all for a more peaceful world in the future generation.
