The Holiday Inn hotel in Dresden, Germany took a stand against hate groups and refused to accept reservations made by members of the Nazi sympathizing National Democratic Party. In a letter written by hotel manager Johannes Lohmeyer that was then sent to top NDP officials, the chain demanded the group cancel their reservations. Should they fail to do so, Lohmeyer wrote, the hotel would make sure all profits from their stay would be donated the city’s local synagogue.

You gotta give the manager credit. That’s a pretty creative threat. Thank you for standing up to bigotry.
it isn’t going to bring any of the kedoshim back.
Anybody know why a few of our brethren choose to drive expensive German cars?
Without a doubt, the Manager of this Holiday Inn is a mensch. He should be commended and recognized by his company for his courageous and innovative position. It’s very refreshing to see that there are some in Germany that have broken with the terrible ways of the past.
I wonder if the same hotel manager owns property in Prague, Czechoslovakia?
