THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, SEpTEmbEr 16, 2022 Page 19 RALLY | FROM PAGE 11 that must be called out and condemned whenever and wherever it occurs. Using this tragedy to spread false, destructive and divisive narratives harms our communities and sense of security and disgraces the memory of the victims from that day. Join us in condemning these activities and in recommitting ourselves to upholding our community values of justice.” Saugus Board of Selectmen Chair Anthony Cogliano was among the local officials speaking at the Wednesday night rally. “I commend my fellow Chairman from Danvers and their entire Board of Selectmen and want them to know the Town of Saugus and its Board of Selectmen will not condone public displays of anti Semitism either,” Cogliano said, referring to an incident that happened later in Danvers. On Saturday night, 10 masked individuals gathered on the Rail Trail bridge over Route 114 in Danvers, according to a statement signed by members of the Danvers Board of Selectmen. The group “held a large banner displaying a false, destructive, and divisive anti-Semitic message linked to 9/11. These individuals appear to be associated with the same hate group which has recently spread disgraceful propaganda in Danvers and surrounding communities,” the statement said. “We want to be clear that we reject this hateful, anti-Semitic and discriminatory behavior. Not only does this incident spread hate, but it perpetuates misinformation regarding 9/11. Groups like this also try to deny and obscure the brutal truth surrounding the atrocities committed against Jewish people, other marginalized groups, and their supporters during the Holocaust.” Ruth Berg, 90, who has been a Saugus resident for 55 years, said she is “proud to be Jewish” after attending the rally. “It was very heart-warming to see so many non-Jews who came to support the condemnation of the recent anti-Semitic act in Saugus,” she said.
