Plaque for victims of shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh stolen

A plaque commemorating the 11 victims of the 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh was recently discovered missing from Taylor Allderdice High School in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood, local media and Anti-Defamation League officials reported Wednesday .

The shooting on October 27, 2018 was the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in American history.

The school’s boys basketball team donated the plaque and planted 11 trees in memory of the shooting victims. Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil and David Rosenthal, Bernice and Sylvan Simon, Dan Stein, Melvin Wax and Irving Younger.

Alan Mallinger, whose mother Rose was killed in the attack, told CBS News: “I think it’s nice for the community to see that the children are lagging behind. You know what happened at the Tree of Life.”

The investigation is ongoing

A spokesperson for Pittsburgh Public Schools confirmed that the school was reviewing security footage but has not yet found any leads.

A replacement board has been ordered and police are investigating the incident.

“I hope that you know that this person or these people, whoever did this, would return the plaque,” Mallinger said. “Let’s hope something like this doesn’t happen again in the future.”
