“It is unquestionable that this would endanger the sense of security of many Jews, especially at this site,” the court said.
A German court has ruled that the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial may lawfully refuse entry to visitors wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh, upholding the site’s right to restrict political messaging on its grounds.
The Higher Administrative Court of Thuringia issued its decision on Wednesday after a woman challenged the memorial’s refusal to admit her to an April ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the camp’s liberation, AFP reported.
She had worn the keffiyeh and later sought court approval to attend another commemorative event this week while wearing the scarf.
