Vivian Zwick, 99, of University City, attends a vigil at Chesed Shel Emeth Cemetery in University City on Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2017. The vigil was held in response to the news that as many as 200 headstones were found toppled in the cemetery on Monday. Zwick has a sister-in-law, a brother-in-law, a niece and a nephew buried in the cemetery. Zwick stated that she closely followed the news from Germany during World War II. "I never thought I'd see something like this in America," she added. "What is important is for all of us to be tremendously vigilant of what's going on. This is the way it begins."
