An antisemitic poster found in London that recalled Nazi rhetoric has been traced to soccer hooligans connected to the major UK team the Millwall Football Club. The poster shows the words “Achtung Juden!” — German for “attention Jews!” — in red, along with the broken and bloody symbol of the rival Tottenham Hotspur team. UK outlet Jewish News reported that the poster was spotted at a local train station and shared on social media by a woman named Paula Griffin, who commented that the incident was not unique, saying she was “used to some pretty nasty stickers that the club apparently seems fit to leave there. … Seems to have reached a new level of hate when people in England feel they can post up such antisemitic stuff as this.” Tottenham Hotspur is identified with Jews by fans of rival teams, and soccer hooligans often taunt Tottenham with antisemitic slurs. The poster was easily traced back to its source, as it bore the symbol of a hooligan group that calls itself the “Millwall Berserkers” and often uses Nazi imagery to promote itself. Millwall Football Club quickly removed the poster and issued a statement saying it has “a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination of any kind.”
