Scott Stringer, the Manhattan district president, said on its Web site, the swastika can not be just “a business of the fashion.”

    MIDDLESEX COUNTY — For the second time in as many years, the Middlesex County Parks Department will sandblast two swastikas off the Route 18 bridge that crosses over Johnson Park on the border of Piscataway and New Brunswick.

    Once again, the swastikas were discovered by a neighbor of Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg of Congregation Beth-El in Edison. They have been there for a month, Rosenberg said.
    “The swastika is a symbol of hatred,” said Rosenberg, a sought-after Holocaust educator whose parents survived the Nazi genocide. “We need to be vigilant and report swastikas or any other symbol of hatred immediately to the police. Whoever is responsible should check it because it seems to be a recurring event.”
    The Parks Department once again will volunteer to sandblast the swastikas off the state property within the next couple of days, Parks Director Ralph Albanir said.
    Albanir said he also will write a letter to the state Department of Transportation requesting that it take appropriate action.
    “I’m not sure how to prevent this,” Albanir said. “You wonder how people access these highways and bridges to do the graffiti. I find it very disturbing and don’t want to see it in any of our parks.
