Yorktown, NY - Anti-Semitic Pamphlets Left On Mailboxes

Yorktown, NY - A Spring Valley Road couple said they were so disgusted by anti-Semitic literature delivered to their yard, that they drove around their neighborhood collecting copies of the same pamphlets left by their neighbors' mailboxes.

Hallie Wolfe said she and her husband drove around the area to collect the four-page pamphlets when they received two of them - one at each end of their two-entrance driveway.
The literature carries a pre-World War II anti-Semitic mentality and is presented in the form of stories to German citizens and children. "It's old stuff, but you read it, and it just makes you sick," Wolfe said. The Wolfes said they had not seen any similar incidents in the 36 years they have lived on the street.

Wolfe said she called Yorktown police, but an officer who responded, while sympathetic, said there was nothing that could be done.
Yorktown police would not release information on the incident.

The Wolfes said they collected as many fliers as they could, about 25 in all. They found them by mailboxes up and down the rural road, where homes are set back on properties while mailboxes stand at the edge of the street. Each pamphlet was rolled and held with a rubber band. "They're going to make nice kindling," Hallie Wolfe said.
