A Jewish mother took her son for a haircut to Broadway Barber Shop in Fair Lawn, NJ. She instructed the barber not to cut her son’s peyos (sidelocks). Moments later, the boy was in tears as the barber immediately cut off his peyos on one side. His mother screamed at him to stop and he ignored her. She went to the owner to demand he tell the barber to stop. The owner spoke to the barber in Arabic and seconds later the barber cut off the peyos on the other side of his head. Cutting off the peyos of Jews was literally something the N@zis did.more
