• The owners of the Kith and Kin restaurant in Hudson, Massachusetts, were forced to close their establishment temporarily in the wake of a stroke of bad judgment, WBZ-TV reported.
A group of World War II reenactors dined at the restaurant after an American Heritage Museum event. But two of the actors were wearing Nazi uniforms, which didn't sit well with the locals.
Gary Lewi, a trustee of the museum, called the incident "beyond thoughtless" and said the museum doesn't even allow costumes with SS collars on its grounds.
"It's at a time when antisemitic violence is on the rise ... That's repugnant," he said.
The restaurant received threats against its workers and apologized for allowing the costumed diners. [WBZ, 10/16/2024]
