"No Jews Allowed" Banner Razed at Polish Hotel; Posted Since Spring by Anti-Semitic Hotel Owner

Polish police seized a banner reading "no Jews, speculators and traitors allowed" from the entrance to a hotel that is owned by an ultranationalist who is jailed for anti-Semitic hate speech, the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency) website reports today (November 25, 2017).


Officers were sent to Dom Polski hotel near the western city of Wroclaw on November 23 following the surfacing of images on social networks showing the banner on the gate of the  hotel in the eastern suburb of Cesarzowice.


The hotel -- which featured the banner since last spring -- is owned by Piotr Rybak, who earlier this year was sentenced to three months in prison for burning an effigy of a Jew at a 2015 demonstration in Wroclaw against Muslim immigration.


The regional prosecutor's office is looking into charging Rybak with another indictment for racist hate speech in connection with the banner, according to Malgorzata Kalus, spokesperson for the prosecutor department.
