“The 1930s Are Back”: Germany Confronts Antisemitism Surge After Shop Posts ‘No Jews Allowed’ Notice
A sign banning Jews from a shop in the northern city of Flensburg has ignited outrage across Germany, drawing comparisons to Nazi-era boycotts and prompting swift condemnation from officials.
“JEWS are banned from here!!!! Nothing personal. Not even antisemitism. I just can’t stand you,” the handwritten notice read. It was removed within 24 hours after police received multiple complaints, but not before photographs circulated widely online.
Israeli Ambassador to Germany Ron Prosor blasted the incident, writing on X: “The 1930s are back. It’s the same old hatred, just in a different font.” Prosor warned that antisemitism “was never about Zionism, it was always about Jewish life. And it never ends harmlessly.”
