דער קערפער פֿון השם"A #German #Jewish woman was forced to remove her #StarofDavid necklace at a security checkpoint before being permitted to enter a courtroom in northern Germany — where ironically a man was on trial for excluding #Jews from his place of business.
The incident on Monday raised concerns over hostility toward Jews in public spaces, amid a wave of incidents in Germany and across #Europe of people being denied access to places and services for being Jewish or #Israeli.
On Monday, #KerenStopka was asked before entering the #Flensburg District Court in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein to remove her Star of David necklace so as not to “disrupt” the proceedings, in order to be allowed to observe the case.
“I had to remove my entire Star of David necklace and hand it over. I wasn’t even permitted to keep it under my shirt or in my pocket."
