The German Jewish community has intervened to save a Muslim-owned kebab restaurant targetted in a far-Right terror attack from going out of business because of the coronavirus pandemic.
With its slowly rotating kebab spits and stainless steel salad counter, Kiez-Döner in the eastern city of Halle is typical of countless Turkish fast food joints scattered across Germany.
In 2019 it made headlines around the world after it was caught up in a far-Right terror attack that also targetted a synagogue packed with worshippers marking Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
