Lyudmila Kolomensky, a Jewish tourist, boarded a taxi in Warsaw for routine transportation. The ride began politely but quickly deteriorated when the driver noticed the Star of David around her neck. He began shouting at her, accused her of murder, took out a Quran and shouted "Allahu Akbar." Kolomensky documented the incident and shared the moments of terror in an interview with "Hadashot Haboker." She said that at first she was afraid, but later became angry. She explained that she chose to film out of a feeling that it protected her, and that she was tired of being afraid and hiding her Jewish identity. The driver eventually dropped her off at the hotel. Kolomensky posted the story on Facebook, and the Jewish community in Warsaw contacted her and is working to prevent the case from being covered up. The taxi company promised she would not encounter the driver again. The article quotes Kolomensky and describes the incident from her perspective, emphasizing the antisemitic experience she endured.
