A popular Sydney bagel business has had the opening of its new CBD location spoiled after a swastika was uncovered etched into the glass.
In an Instagram post, Lox in a Box revealed workers made the discovery after removing the paper on a glass window at their Paddington store set to open on April 9.
“Yesterday, we proudly took the paper down. And today, we wanted to cover it all up again,” the post said.
“This morning, we arrived to find a swastika etched into the glass.
“I won’t pretend this didn’t shake me. Today really got to me.
“We will not let this break us. We will not let it close our doors or dim the light of something we’ve worked so hard to build.
“That is what hate wants, and we refuse to give it that.
“Our people have survived too much to be shaken by the actions of a coward.”
“I am the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, and today felt like a punch that landed deeper than most.”
Lox in a Box is a proudly Jewish deli and bagel shop with multiple locations across Bondi, Marrickville and Coogee.
