Israeli tourists were recently denied accommodation at a hotel in southern Germany after receiving a message through an online booking site stating, “Sorry, there are no Jews allowed in our hotel,” the Israeli Consulate in Munich said Monday.

The guests were refused by the Hotel zum Hirschen in Lam, Bavaria, according to the Ynet news site, which said a review of the message confirmed its authenticity.

The report did not specify when the message was sent.

The tourists filed a complaint with the Bavarian Justice Ministry’s commissioner for combating antisemitism, the report added.

The guests also filed complaints with Booking.com, which has temporarily removed the property from its platform.

“Are we back in the 1930s?” asked Israeli Consul General Talya Lador, sharing the message in a German-language post on social media.

Sind wir wieder in den 1930er Jahren? Ein Hotel hat einem Israeli folgendes geantwortet: „sorry, there are no Jews allowed in our hotel“. Ich bin froh darüber, dass @bookingcom dieses Hotel von seiner Homepage verbannt hat. pic.twitter.com/3hiBEK1dse — Talya Lador (@TalyaLador) June 2,........
