  "account": "On Sunday, Jewish-Italian teenagers and their educators were targeted by a group of alleged neo-Nazi skinheads in Bansko, Bulgaria. The attackers, wearing black shirts with skull symbols, attempted to force their way into the hotel where the teens were staying as part of a Jewish youth program. Video footage showed the neo-Nazis performing Nazi salutes and shouting \"Sieg Heil!\" at the group while threatening and abusing them. Local police intervened, dispersing the attackers and later locating them. The incident occurred on the final night of the camp, after the camp staff had instructed all participants to return to their rooms. Bnei Akiva, the youth movement organizing the program, stated that Bulgaria was chosen due to its low levels of antisemitic incidents. Italian leaders, including the president of the Jewish community in Rome, condemned the attack, calling it a violent provocation and urging Bulgarian authorities to identify and prosecute those responsible.",
  "summary": "The group, from Rome and Milan, was participating in a program organized by the Jewish youth movement Bnei Akiva.",
