I was in grammar school in a Chicago suburb. There were a lot of Jewish kids in my school. I don't remember exactly how old I was but what I remember was it was gym class and me and some friends saw a swastika on the concrete behind the school and took chalk to make designs out of it. Our teacher asked us what we were doing thinking we were just doing random graffiti. We told her and she said "oh that's ok then" and walked away.

That was about all the antisemitism I remember as a kid. I was pretty lucky.
