The children of the most seriously injured victim of the mass stabbing at an upstate New York Hanukkah celebration made an emotional appeal Thursday for an end to anti-Semitic attacks as their father underwent surgery.
Josef Neumann’s family agreed to release a graphic photo of their critically injured father, connected to a breathing tube, to show the brutality of the machete attack, said daughter Nicky Kohen.
Kohen and another one of Neumann’s seven children described him during a news conference as a caring and loving man who once owned a fish market in Rockland County.
