A mountain restaurant in Davos no longer rents sports equipment to Jews. The reason for this is bad experiences. Information about this is available in Hebrew in the notice. The Tourism Association distances itself from the campaign.
The Swiss city of Davos is a popular holiday home for Orthodox Jews. Jewish guests will no longer be able to rent winter sports equipment such as skis, skis or snowshoes at a mountain lodge in Davos. Information about this is available in Hebrew in the notice.
'Clearly anti-Semitic'
The mountain restaurant tenant in question bases this decision on bad experiences. Among other things, sports equipment was left on the slopes or not returned at all.
Jonathan Kreutner of the Swiss Jewish Community Association (SIG) is outraged. “This is very discriminatory,” he criticizes. “The apparent behavior of individuals should be used to draw conclusions about an entire group of Jews.” “This is clearly anti-Semitic, and we will also take legal action,” Kreutner explains.
Pächter speaks of incorrect wording
The Foundation Against Racism and Anti-Semitism in Switzerland speaks of a disturbing act of exclusion in light of the ban on renting winter sports equipment to Orthodox Jews. Graubünden canton police are now investigating suspected discrimination and incitement to hatred.
As Swiss media reported, the tenant has already apologized for the notice. He is talking about an incorrectly worded notice that the decision has nothing to do with anti-Semitism. Jewish guests are still welcome.
