A hotel in Arosa, in the eastern Swiss canton of Graubünden, has made international headlines for displaying signs singling out Jewish guests by asking them to shower before using the swimming pool.
The sign, displayed at the Aparthaus Paradies, was photographed by an Israeli family who were visiting the hotel, reported Swiss and international press including The Jerusalem Post.
To our Jewish Guests. Please take a shower before you go swimming and although [sic] after swimming, it said in English. If you break the rules, Im forced to cloes [sic] the swimming pool for you. Thank you for understanding.
It was signed Ruth Thomann, whose name is listed on the hotels website as the main contact.
A second sign asked Jewish guests to access the hotel fridge at set times only.

The last time we stayed in Arosa, we stayed in an orthodox Jewish hotel.
The sign was so horribly offensive. But I can imagine it; when I lived there, they still enjoyed the marshmallow filled chocolate goodies called Mohrenkopfe, with foil wrappers depicting grotesque black man’s faces on them
Yes.
I have observed the phenomenon of exalted and exulting Israeli tourists not conforming to standards of behavior both in Switzerland and Asia.
A problem. Specially in meticulous environments.
So is spit, which actually is mildly anti-bacterial. But I rather not touch other people’s sweat or spit. Dogs can cure their cuts and bruises and even wounds by licking.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I'm reminded of Mark Twain's harangues in Innocents Abroad about continental Europeans apparent aversion to soap and bathing. The Jewish guests may well be the only ones showering before and after swimming. I'd find another hotel.
Ouch!
Any Jew who would live in or even visit Europe after WWII is insane.
I think you’re always supposed to shower before swimming, to help keep the pool clean.
But asking only Jewish people to do so is highly insulting to them.
