A Swiss hotel has been condemned for antisemitism after specifically asking Jewish guests to shower before using the pool, and for placing apparent time restrictions on when they can use the hotel's fridge.
Signs written in broken English and addressed To our Jewish Guests at the Aparthaus Paradies Hotel in Arosa, Switzerland, included a demand to please take a shower before you go swimming and although [sic] after swimming". The sign continued: "If you break the rules, I'm forced to cloes [sic] the swimming pool for you.
Another sign said: To our Jewish guests: You are allowed to approach the fridge between the hours: 10.00-11.00 in the morning and 16.30-17.30 in the evening. I hope you understand that our team does not like to be disturbed every time."
It was not immediately apparent how fridge use could disturb the hotel's staff, nor why it could only be opened during specific times.

Nothing wrong with those rules. Very wrong to target any specific group.
They could have simply said "To Our Guests" and left it at that. Why not?
I'm betting on racists.
