Swiss hotel accused of antisemitism over signs singling out Jews

IMHO, the hotel/management/owner should have known better, there's no excuse for this "wording", this shouldn't be accepted and I sincerely hope that racism be it through words, thoughts or behavior hasn't a chance around the world. Travel incl. hospitality should bring us together, at least that's the hope.

The Paradies apartment hotel in the Alpine village of Arosa, in eastern Switzerland, has been accused of antisemitism after a guest posted to Facebook a picture of a notice near the hotel pool.
“To our Jewish guests, women, men and children, please take a shower before you go swimming,” it said, adding: “If you break the rules I’m forced to [close] the swimming pool for you.”
A second notice, in the kitchen, instructed “our Jewish guests” that they could only access the facility’s freezer between 10 and 11am and between 4.30 and 5.30pm. “I hope you understand that our team does not like being disturbed all the time,” it said.
