- "Testimony that our organization heard directly, as well as video recordings of interactions between irate passengers and Lufthansa personnel, seem to support the accusation that people were being punished simply because they shared ethnicity and religion with the alleged rule violators." See below to read the full letter Agudath Israel of America sent to Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa, regarding disturbing accounts of what allegedly transpired on May 4 at the Frankfurt airport when passengers who were visibly Jewish were prevented by Lufthansa personnel from continuing their trip.
