"Country Imposes Entry Restrictions on Jews"
In a shocking turn of events, a sign reading "Jews are banned here" has been displayed in a store in the northern German town of Flensburg. This incident, the latest in a series of similar incidents recently reported in Germany, has sparked outrage not just locally, but nationwide.
The store owner in Flensburg has yet to be identified or publicly addressed. The antisemitic sign was put up by Hans Velten Reisch, a 60-year-old store owner who sells Gothic articles and used books. Reisch justified the sign with the Gaza war and denied any antisemitic intent.
Germany's antisemitism commissioner, Felix Klein, has condemned the incident and called for decisive action from both the state and civil society. Klein has urged a "uprising of the decent" against hate and for humanity. In a show of solidarity, Klein plans to lead a demonstration against hate and for humanity on October 5th in Munich.
The sign in the Flensburg store has been widely criticized for its anti-Semitic content. Klein looks ahead to planned measures such as the Five-Point Plan, a series of measures aimed at combating anti-Semitism, which has not yet been detailed.
The German government has not yet issued a formal response to the incident in Flensburg. However, Klein has warned of growing anti-Jewish sentiment in the country and has called for a united front against hate.
The article, published by Welt News Channel on September 18, 2025, does not mention any legal action taken or planned against the store owner in Flensburg. The incident has highlighted the need for continued vigilance and action against antisemitism in Germany.
