Swastika Drawings on South Waiola Prompt Neighbors to Flier Block

Neighbors are demanding answers after two swastikas were drawn in front of a home Wednesday in the 1100 block of South Waiola.

The family found the chalk drawings on the sidewalk around 8:24 a.m. and called the police, according to police reports. One member of the family is Jewish.

A photo provided by a neighbor shows the words “Have a nice day” with a swastika on each side.

Friends passed out fliers on the block asking anyone with information about the incident to call La Grange Police at 708-579-2334.

“Please do not tolerate hatred in our community,” the flier reads.

La Grange police were not immediately available to provide further information about the incident.
