(Beaver County, PA) The Beaver County home that is currently owned by Lynn Rae Wentworth and her husband still has a swastika and a German war eagle tiled onto its floor which was discovered under a table and rugs in its basement. According to Wentworth, the seller never informed them about the symbols until they found them, and they believe it was intentional. The Wentworths bought their home in 2023. Daniel Stoner is the attorney of the Wentworths who has called the symbols a “material defect” after filing an appeal in court. Stoner confirms the seller apparently installed the symbols in the floor himself in the 1970s, and argued the symbol of the swastika was a popular design in the 1920s on greeting cards, soft drinks, and sports uniforms back in that time. The Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh has also made a response to this case. Laura Cherner, the director of community relations for the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, had this to say about this case: “It’s not anything I’ve encountered before. It’s really shocking and I definitely feel for the Wentworth family that they bought a home and then they uncovered something so, so dark.” Stoner also states that The Superior Court will be expected to give their opinion on this case by the end of 2025.
