Seven New York City Jewish businesses in Brooklyn and Manhattan received threatening flyers with an image of a swastika that said “out with the Jews” on Wednesday.

Among the businesses targeted were three law firms in Sheepshead Bay, the Harlem Business Alliance on Lenox Avenue, the Numero Uno Jewelry store on East 116th Street, Borough Park Bakery and a Starbucks on West 145th Street, The Jerusalem Post reported.

Under the image of a swastika, the flyer included a Holocaust-era German phrase meaning “out with the Jews.” It also vowed to “Make America Great Again,” the famous campaign slogan of United States President Donald Trump, along with other threatening language against the black and homosexual community.

“I was not afraid, but it is shock,” Weiss Bakery owner Abraham Weiss told ABC News. “First it’s shock, then it’s disgusting. We’re going back to the World War II era. Why would people do such a thing? I would never do anything to anyone,” he added.

The subsequent six letters are identical to the bakery letter.

Jewish business in the New York area have become the target of anti-Semitic attacks with an increased frequency in recent weeks and the swastika flyers mark only the latest escalation in an alarming uptick in anti-Jewish hate crimes.

“We don’t have specific numbers on hate mail,” said Evan Bernstein, with the Anti-Defamation League. “We know the NYPD has seen over a 30 percent spike in anti-Semitic hate crimes in New York City already this year…so that’s incredibly concerning for us.”

Bernstein added that “these kinds of incidents are very detrimental not only to the individual that’s having to read the letter, but also to the rest of the community fearful that what people are really thinking about them.”

The incidents are being investigated by both the NYPD and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Offices.
