Baby Dolls Painted in Blood Hung Outside Synagogue in Sweden

Strange baby dolls made to look covered in blood were found strung up near a synagogue in Norrköping, Sweden, on the first night of the Passover holiday.

The incident appears to be antisemitic in nature, with a message accompanying the dolls being classified by the police as "a hate crime, one that intends to spread statements that threaten or oppress designated ethnic groups," police spokesperson Angelica Israelsson Silfver told the Swedish news outlet Expressen, the quote having been translated by the Sputnik news site.

While the police do not seem to have any leads, however, there appears to be evidence that the culprits are members of the far Right.

The neo-Nazi organization known as the Nordic Resistance Movement posted about the incident the following day, but used a photo that seems to have been taken at night.
