National Tragedy Scares Columbus Community

10 TV: Jewish community organizations in central Ohio were under heightened alert Wednesday night after a gunman killed a security guard at the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. Synagogues received warnings to be on the look-out for anything suspicious…

Columbus police relayed notices from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to the Columbus Jewish Federation, Federation CEO Marsha Hurwitz said... Hurwitz said the shooting at the National Holocaust Museum is especially disturbing to the area's Holocaust survivors.

"For many of them who were survivors, I think it caused them to relive some of the pain and fear they may have felt when they went through it years ago back in Europe," Hurwitz said.
