Sarah Milgrim, who was murdered in a terrorist attack, once condemned antisemitic graffiti at her high school in 2017, which included swastikas and hateful messages. Despite the fear it instilled in her regarding safety at school and synagogue, Milgrim aimed to combat hatred by taking a job with the Israeli Embassy. Her father noted her efforts to transform negativity into positive action, hoping to reduce antisemitism. She had a notable academic background, having earned degrees in environmental studies and international affairs before her untimely death.
It's so ignorant that you would bring up a symbol like that brings so much pain to a lot of people. It's not OK.
I worry about going to my synagogue and now I have to worry about safety at school and that shouldn't be a thing.
She understood it and tried to be a good example so that maybe there would be less antisemitism. It didn't turn out very well for her.
Robert Milgrim said his daughter tried to turn the hateful messages into a chance to better the world.
