The owners of an Austrian hotel are suing a German tourist who complained they had decorated the lobby of their hotel with a “Nazi Grandpa” – a picture of their relative in a uniform which contained a swastika.
The German man, named in court documents as “Thomas K”, had stayed in the hotel in the town of Gerlos, in the Tyrolean Alps in Austria, during August 2018, according to The Guardian.
The man later left reviews on the TripAdvisor and Booking.com sites, under a pseudonym, in both German and English. He described how near the entrance of the hotel, two pictures had been hung of men wearing Nazi uniforms featuring the German eagle and swastika. There were flowers beneath the portraits.
"This made us wonder what the hotel owners are trying to tell us with this image,” the tourist wrote.
