Reina Sofía allegedly removed the elderly visitors, including the one who lived through the genocide, for wearing Jewish symbols.
An arts museum in Madrid, Spain, is facing legal action for allegedly removing three elderly Israeli women, including a Holocaust survivor, because they were wearing Israeli or Jewish symbols.
The Action and Communication on the Middle East (ACOM) group, a prominent pro-Israeli organization based in Spain, on Monday announced it will initiate legal action against the Queen Sofía National Museum Art Centre “for discrimination and possible promotion of hatred from a public institution.”
The incident on Sunday was part of “a repeated pattern of political instrumentalization, indirect discrimination, and possible promotion of narratives of hatred toward the State of Israel and the Jewish-Israeli community from a public institution funded by all Spanish taxpayers,” according to ACOM.
