Amazon worker sacked for putting sick Hitler note in parcel sent to Jewish mum
The anonymous customer - who took two days off work after the hate crime - believes she was targeted because of her Jewish surname
AN AMAZON worker has been sacked for putting a note reading “Greetings from Uncle Adolf” in a parcel to a Jewish mum.
The customer found it in a toy ordered for her niece and was so upset she had to take two days off work.
The victim believes she was targeted because of her Jewish surname and reported it to police as a hate crime.
She does not want to be identified but a friend claimed Amazon acted only after being shamed on social media.
Liran Meydat, 39, of North London, said the note was found in the Amazon wrapping, not in the product packaging.
She said: "British Jews feel scared to speak out, I'm an Israeli and have lived here for a few years so I don't feel scared.
"When I heard what had happened it made me think about my grandfather who showed me the number on his arms from the Polish death camps.
"He lost all his family there.
"When she told us about the note she was shaking – she's a very gentle and humble lady.
"She does a lot for charity – both Jewish and non-Jewish – and helps all members of the community, that's why she took it very badly."
Amazon said: “We have apologised to the customer, investigated the matter and dismissed the individual involved.”
