The couple’s situation is hopeless, he says. The misery started soon after the man and woman moved into the apartment complex in Rhenen at the end of 2019. According to Aben, they were regularly hurled anti-Semitic slogans at them by local residents, rubbish was thrown in the garden and they urinated in the letterbox. In July 2022, they were allegedly threatened with a knife. A local resident appeared in court for that threat, but was acquitted due to lack of evidence.
