On Monday, the authorities were investigating the incident.
“We are currently investigating this matter,” Filadelphia police said to Pak Gazette Digital. “A video has appeared that shows a sign at the Philly Barstool Bar, located in 1213 Sansom Street, according to reports since Saturday night. We are working to collect more information and we will provide an update as soon as possible.”
Pak Gazette Digital communicated with the Philadelphia Police Department to comment.
Portnoy said he was sending the two culprits in the incident to Auschwitz to learn about the holocaust and the atrocities that took place in Poland.
Temple University said one of his students was involved in the incident, and the student was placed in an interim suspension, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia.
“In the stronger terms possible, allow me to be clear: anti -Semitism is abhorrent. It takes place in the temple and acts of hate and discrimination against any person or person are not tolerated in this university,” said the president of the school, John Fry, in a statement.

“Any additional student who involves will face strict disciplinary action under the student’s code of behavior, to and including expulsion. I know that incidents like this do not represent our community and their values. Thank you for your support and continuous commitment to ensure that Temple provides a safe and cozy environment to all your students, teachers, staff and neighbors.”
The bar, which was located in Samson Street in the neighborhood of Center City in Philadelphia, also issued a statement. The bar said that two of its employees involved in the incident were fired.
“We are sad, embarrassed and frustrated by the deplorable actions of a wrong client and personnel who act outside the reach of their duties, which resulted in an anti -Semitic hate speech last night in our establishment,” said the bar.
