On Holocaust Remembrance Day, a group of Haredi men were attacked at Krakow airport in Poland on their way to Israel, including Rabbi Simcha Krakowski, chairman of Beit Hatavshil (a charitable soup kitchen organization) in Bnei Brak. Police who arrived at the scene removed the attacker, who was wearing an airport employee badge.
"Go back to Israel. Not here. This is my country."
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, an airport employee harassed a visibly Jewish man at a Polish airport.
Never mind that 6 million Jews were murdered, or that, 81 years later, the lesson still hasn't been learned.

One of the passengers described the incident. "We were praying and were almost at the end, we were off to the side and weren't disturbing anyone. And then suddenly the non-Jew arrives as you see in the video, he started yelling and going wild 'no praying.' I tried to tell him we're finishing, he started yelling and going wild again. We thought maybe he's a police officer, maybe he's a local employee who can bring police – nobody wanted trouble before the flight."
The passenger said, "He screamed, 'This is Poland and not Israel, what are you doing.' He also tried to raise his hands, he pushed a young man, as you see in the video. In the end police arrived, removed him and took his details, and we hurried to catch our flight to Israel."
