On Sunday evening, a man in New York City hurled vile anti-Semitic remarks at a Hasidic Jew who was on his way to visit Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson’s resting place in preparation of the 25th anniversary of his passing.
The alleged assailant, who has not yet been identified, verbally attacked Menachem B. as Menachem was on his way to pay his respects to Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known to many as the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
“We were on our way in preparation for his 25th passing anniversary which is on July 6,” Menachem told The Daily Wire.
According to Menachem, the man randomly approached him and his friend Moshe R. as they were leaving a barber shop in Brooklyn and began screaming at them: “You guys robbed me.”
Menachem said that he tried to get the man to calm down so he could figure out what the man’s problem was but then the man launched into hurling anti-Semitic remarks at them.
“Hitler didn’t not, Hitler did not kill enough of f–king all you,” the man can be seen screaming in one video. “Hitler did not kill enough. He had the right to kill all because [inaudible] rat Jews. The rat Jews.”
Moshe’s parents, who are both still alive, are both Holocaust survivors.
In response to the incident, Moshe asked Menachem: “What is this, Nazi Germany?”
