Flag with swastika spotted outside Norfolk home

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - Residents of a Norfolk neighborhood are speaking out against a neighbor after he flew a Nazi flag outside his home in Ghent.

…

Ghent resident Sherene Silverberg and her son, who are Jewish, were passing by on Mowbray Arch when the flag caught their eye.

“We saw that flag. It was like being kicked in the belly by a horse. This is America, a country that is tolerant,”Silverberg said.

WAVY.com also spoke with the homeowner to get his side of the story. The man who put up the flag wouldn’t go on camera unless 10 On Your Side agreed to his terms, in writing. As a news organization, WAVY does not agree to conditions like that, so we did not interview him on camera. But he did say he put the flag up to protest President Obama.
