## Caption

On Oct. 31, an email from Winnetka Campus Principal and Assistant Superintendent Denise Dubravec and Superintendent Dr. Paul Sally was sent to all New Trier High School families informing them of an incident where a swastika was etched on a dispenser inside a boys bathroom stall on the Winnetka Campus. 

The incident at New Trier follows a recent increase in antisemitism in the U.S., highlighting how the New Trier community is not exempt from this nationwide crisis. In 2023, anti-Jewish hate crimes and violence reached a record high of 1,951 incidents, according to the FBI. This represents a 55% increase from 2022, which recorded 1,257 bias incidents. While hate crimes in general are on the rise, anti-Jewish violence has skyrocketed, specifically due to an attack on Israel by Hamas, a Palestinian Militant group, on Oct. 7, 2023. This spike in crime can be traced back to the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, per the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, who cite the conflict as a “motivating factor for violent extremists and hate crime perpetrators.”

“I wasn’t necessarily shocked or surprised because of everything that’s going on and the increase in antisemitism, but it was still really hurtful,” junior Ella Novack said.

Sports Editor Carolina Mangum wrote the story.
