Ukraine: Uman hotel refuses to rent rooms to Jews, Jewish leader says

Via Jerusalem Post:

A hotel in Uman is refusing to rent out rooms to Jews, a leader of Ukraine’s Jewish community said.

Eduard Dolinsky, the director of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, wrote Thursday on Facebook that an administrator at Uman City Plaza told him the policy was in place because the last time that Jews were allowed to stay at the hotel, it required repairs.
