While on a tour of the museum at the Auschwitz death camp in Poland on Sunday, a group of around 50 Jewish university students from Israel, the U.S. and Poland were verbally attacked by a three-member gang of French male tourists.

Evidently incited by the presence of an Israeli flag wrapped around the shoulders of Tamar Schuri, an Israeli student from Ben Gurion University, the first assailant ran at the group while its members were being guided through a model gas chamber and crematoria and began swearing and hurling anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli insults.

"He told us to go back to Israel and said that we were stupid and should be ashamed to walk around with an Israeli flag," testifies Maya Ober, a 21-year-old Polish student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan and member of the Polish Union of Jewish Students (PUSZ), which organized the 16-day summer learning program along with the World Union of Jewish Students (WUJS).

After the initial altercation, a second assailant
grabbed Ober by the arm. "One of the guys held me by the arm and wouldn't let go," says Ober, who lost several members of her family at Auschwitz. "I was afraid. I couldn't move and I didn't know what he was going to do.

"I was shocked. Although I have met anti-Semitism many times, I never expected to meet it at Auschwitz, where so many of my relatives were killed," she says she spoke to the assailants in French and that in addition to being "brutish and vulgar," their sentiments "made absolutely no sense."

"But, if the two sides hadn't been separated, it would have come to blows."

This whole Jewish pacifism thing is going to be the death of us!

[Fredo]

It's indeed revolting and really sad to see such a thing happening and even more in such a place .

Jacques Chriac... "There is NO Antisemitism in France! We all love the Jews to death!

you are not really up to date , he has admitted since there was antisemitism in France and that it was a problem we should worry about. See the way he reacted to the fake antisemitic attack lately...

Also we have never said we don't have idiot antisemitic people in France , this event being a proof , but don't extend it to the whole French population please.

i am also curious to learn what these guys were doing there and also their ethnic origin (just in case )...

The Israelis should have come to blows.....

After all, you are talking about French here.

One punch and they would have surrendered.

but don´t think anyone will believe in what you say. we are all you stupid, antisemitic europeans. keep that in mind

Fredo, I was not blaming France as a whole!

My comment was directed at the lack of action I see from J. Chirac, and the death comment was directed to the Antisemites... Muslim, French, German, North-Africa, ...!
