Parents at an eastern suburbs preschool have been left sickened after a swastika was painted on the front of the mostly Jewish school.
THE eastern suburbs Jewish community is in shock after parents dropped off their kids to preschool, only to find a swastika emblazoned at the front entrance.
The Rose Bay preschool is not a strictly Jewish school but has a high Jewish population.
One parent, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of being targeted said she felt scared dropping off her child to the school.
“As I got out of the car I saw it out of the corner of my eye and I had such a lump in my throat, I just felt sick and confused,” the mum said.
“It’s a horrible feeling leaving your child after that at what should be a safe and happy place.
“It just shows in Rose Bay anti-semitism is so prevalent right now … you want to protect your kids from it but its just the reality of being a Jew.”
The parent said she was used to increased security and threats at Jewish schools, but was especially scared since the preschool is not only for Jewish kids.
“They clearly did their research and found out Jewish kids go there and it is owned by Jews,” she said.
