Bulgaria, Nazi assault on a hotel with Italian Jewish teenagers: Sieg Heil and Nazi greetings

A group of Italian Jewish teenagers traveling to Sofia, Bulgaria, was trapped inside their hotel after a group of neo-Nazis attempted to force entry, shouting Nazi slogans and making threats. The incident occurred on August 2nd and has drawn strong condemnation from the Rome Jewish Community, which calls for Bulgarian authorities to identify and prosecute those responsible. According to reports, the youths, accompanied by educators from Milan and Rome, were in the hotel when a group of young people dressed in black gathered outside. Videos shared later showed the attackers chanting 'Sieg Heil' and displaying Nazi salutes. Although police intervened, the protesters reportedly returned shortly afterward, blocking hotel entrances again and creating further tension. The president of the Rome Jewish Community, Victor Fadlun, stated that Jewish children are not free to travel in Europe without facing violence and verbal aggression from antisemites.
