Austrian Hotel Bans Jews
AUSTRIA — A hotel in Austria has outraged local tourism and fellow hotel owners by banning Jewish guests.
The Haus Sonnenhof apartment hotel in the village of Serfaus, Tyrol, is said to have turned away a Jewish family because of “bad experiences” in the past, the daily Tiroler Tageszeitung reports.
The hotel owner allegedly emailed the family and told them although the room was free, she did not want to take in Jewish guests.
The Haus Sonnenhof’s reaction has angered other hotels in Serfaus, which has become popular with orthodox Jewish tourists in recent years.
“One such incident could destroy all the hard work by others in the travel industry,” Hotel Alpenruh-Micheluzzi owner Petra Micheluzzi told the German Press Agency, DPA.
She said this was a view echoed by local and regional tourism officials.
The father of the rejected Jewish family has reportedly shunned the village of Serfaus and taken the family elsewhere to holiday.
“I don’t want to spend my vacation in such a racist nest, and I will inform all my friends about what is going on in Tyrol,” he told DPA.

Also, be carefull with how you behave on your holiday vacation. Doing something that is uncomplimentary can make anti-semites.

anti-semitism isn’t a result of bad behaving jews.
