Jews told to use showers

SWITZERLAND’S tourism office yesterday decried an “unfortunate” incident in which a small Alpine hotel posted a sign asking “Jewish guests” to shower before swimming in the hotel pool.

The Simon Wiesenthal Centre demanded the closure of the Paradies Arosa hotel and issued a statement calling on “the broader Jewish community and their Gentile friends to blacklist this horrific hotel.”

Officials said the hotel in the eastern town of Arosa had apologised for the incident and taken the sign down.
