Swastikas carved at W. Side church

occurred sometime after 10 p.m. Monday, when the church was closed for the night.

The words “race office” are a nod to the Office of Racial Policy within the Nazi party that promoted the Aryan race and laid the foundation for anti-Semitism in the 1930s — a disturbing revelation to a church that proudly has a person who escaped the Nazis among its congregants, Vogel said.

The NYPD is investigating the swastikas etchings as a hate crime.

Mayor de Blasio found the church vandalism and the uptick in hate crimes “troubling and unsettling.”

“I want everyone who’s concerned to know that the NYPD is highly focused, as it always is, on protecting all communities,” the mayor said. “We’re trying to address it in our city with a very aggressive ability to stop hate crimes and prosecute hate crimes and bias crimes.”

“We need our federal government and all governments around the country to do that too to make a very clear point that we will not accept anti-Semitism in this country,” he said.

Vogel believes the markings are a symptom of the hate-filled climate that swept across the country following President Trump’s election.

“Certainly his rhetoric has not been especially hopeful in condemning these acts,” Vogel said. “He is hesitant in condemning them and at times encouraging an ‘us vs. them’ attitude and that’s not helpful at all. The country I want to live in is one where we take care of each other and don’t see a neighbor as an enemy or someone with no worth or feelings.”

Vogel and his flock want justice — but not necessarily punishment.

“We are calling for a renewed vision and an interfaith dialogue,” he said. “We’re more concerned with the broader atmosphere in the city and this country. We want (them) to stand for love and justice and diversity and stand against the forces of bigotry and racism.”

Yet the atmosphere bleaker.

Since Sunday, swastikas — with Trump’s name attached in some cases — have cropped up across the city, mostly on train lines and along highways.

Someone repeatedly wrote “Trump KKK” with a swastika inside a men’s bathroom at Penn Station on Oct. 23. Similar graffiti was found in the bathroom on Sunday, officials said. Swastikas were also found in Queens and the Bronx on Tuesday, officials said.

At about 6:45 p.m., a 49-year-old woman found a swastika etched in wet cement on 123rd St. near 85th is getting
