It was an appalling sight at a Broward Jewish community center this morning when swastikas and anti-semitic messages were found painted on the walls of a playground.

A half-dozen messages of hate were found graffitied at the Samuel and Helen Soref Jewish Community Center on the 5600 block of Coral Ridge Dr. in Coral Springs.

Swasticas, Nazi "SS" lightning bolt insignias and messages like "Jews Shall Die" were painted in gold just feet from swing sets, monkey bars and slides where children play at the center.

"Your Worst Nightmare" another message read. "You to Die" and "Die F--- Judes" read others.

Coral Springs Police Chief Duncan Foster said his department hasn't had any incidents like this in Coral Spings and that he's hoping it's just the work of some stupid kids.

Foster said his department is investigating the incident as a hate crime.
