Italy – “Jewish shop”, antisemitic graffiti in a pastry shop in Genoa

Genoa – “Jewish shop”, complete with a yellow star of David. This is the inscription found on Monday on the shutter of a confectionery shop in via Bertuccioni 19, in the Genoese district of Marassi. The news began to circulate in the last hours on social networks. The writing, which appeared on the eve of Yom Kippur, has already been canceled after the owners of the shop reported the incident to the police. Digos investigates the episode.

Mayor Marco Bucci expresses indignation on his Facebook page: “An unworthy and intolerable gesture that the whole city strongly condemns. The writing that appeared yesterday and immediately removed from the shutter of a shop in the Marassi district is the most squalid one can see. Our closeness goes to the owners and employees of the business and to the Genoese Jewish community which is observing the Yom Kippur anniversary right now ”.
