UK: 'Hitler had best ovens' Jewish book store told

Via The Jewish Chronicle:

Staff at a Judaica store have been left “shocked” after an anonymous caller rang the shop and said “Hitler had the best ovens”. 

Brauns Judaica, in Stamford Hill, north London received the call at around 6pm yesterday. 

The antisemitic comment was all that was said before the phone was put down. A member of staff at the shop told the JC: “It was very, very bad – it was very scary. If they start calling you, what’s going to be next? It’s really shocking.” 

The telephone call is the latest in a number of antisemitic incidents which have taken place in Stamford Hill, including swastikas being daubed on walls and roads and members of the area’s Jewish community being subjected to verbal and physical abuse.
