Midwest anti-semitism is alive and well:
A small Indiana museum dedicated to victims of the Nazi Holocaust was set ablaze and its contents destroyed on Tuesday in a likely arson attack that included a spray-painted homage to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh (news - web sites).
"We are calling this a probable arson," Terre Haute Assistant Fire Chief Skip Allenbaugh said of the single-story brick structure. The blaze caused part of the structure's roof to cave in.
A side door was forced open and an unidentified accelerant was used to start the blaze, Allenbaugh said. Inside the storefront museum were charred books and pamphlets, twisted metal chairs and ruined artifacts in smashed glass display cases.
"From what we can see through the windows, it's most likely a complete loss," said Mary Wright, the museum director, who valued the contents at about $15,000. "Nothing like this has happened before. We've never even had an obscene phone call or anything like that."
Police had made no arrests, though Wright said a witness was providing information about a possible suspect or suspects.
The words "Remember Timmy McVeigh" were spray-painted in black on an outside wall. Authorities said they believe the message was left by the same people who set the fire.
The woman is a Holocaust survivor and these vermin destroyed what was probably her lifes work. Burn in hell you McVeigh-loving scum. LGF has an e-mail from a woman who worked at the museum.
