Sweden's main organization for Jews is appealing a police decision to grant the neo-Nazi Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM) permission to stage a march near a synagogue in Gothenburg on September 30, according to the Christian Today website.
The march is set to fall on the same day as the major holy Jewish holiday Yom Kippur.
"It's the day of the year when many Jews who normally don't go to the synagogue will gather there," Jewish leaders wrote in an opinion piece in the daily newspaper Svenska Dagbladet.
They added, "Aside from our fear for our own security, it evokes uncomfortable associations for us Jews."
