NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Hate crimes against the Jewish community are on the rise in New York City.

Most recently, two men are under arrest in connection with a pair of Wednesday morning attacks on Jewish men in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

A filmmaker in Brooklyn says the latest round of intolerance is nothing new, and at one time was even celebrated at a “pro-American” rally at Madison Square Garden.

Director Marshall Curry says the scene that played out in 1939 felt like it should have been worlds away.

“I was shocked,” he said. ” When I first saw it, it seemed like a rally in Nuremberg or something.”

Curry directed the Oscar-nominated short film “A Night at the Garden,” and says the pro-Nazi rally happened just months before Germany invaded Poland.

Even though it was decades ago, sadly he says the sentiment resonates today.

“It seems like we’re having an uptick in anti-Semitic attacks and hate crimes in general, and it was important to remind people that this was part of our history,” Curry said.

In New York, hate crimes have doubled over the past year. Of those eight anti-Semitic hate crimes took place in the first three weeks of 2018 compared to 15 this year.
