a large group of Orthodox Jews from boarding a flight after a few of them did not wear masks.
The incident in question took place in a Frankfurt airport, following a flight from New York in which the airline said a “limited” number of passengers refused to wear masks. When passengers tried to board a connecting flight to Hungary, Lufthansa staff allegedly blocked all visibly Jewish passengers from boarding — including many who had not violated the mask policy and weren’t even part of the same group.
German media reported that staff denied boarding to any passengers on the flight to Hungary who they determined were Jewish because they were wearing skull caps or had sidelocks. Video of the incident showed Lufthansa staff telling passengers that “everyone has to pay” for the mistakes of a few, then defining “everyone” as “Jewish coming from JFK.”
In the interview, Lipstadt also drew direct comparisons between Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, in the Biden administration’s most forceful comments to date rebuking Putin for invoking Nazism to justify his invasion of Ukraine.
