“We can demonstrate both through our words and our numbers that we will not stand for such acts of hate,” Temple Sinai Dresher shared in a statement. “They have no place in our community nor in our society.”

The flag was displayed at a home in the Blue Bell area of the township on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, a Nov. 9-10, 1938 Nazi attack on Jewish people in Germany.

“That flag was and remains contrary to all that we believe in and all that our Township represents,” the Whitpain Township Board of Supervisors said. “We will not be silent in the face of evil. We trust our community will join us.”
