The robbery on Wednesday was the second time that Schnitzels has been damaged in recent months after an unsuccessful attempt to break the restaurant\u2019s front window.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cWe are truly just devastated that this happening to all these Jewish-owned businesses. Really sad!\u201d Cohen told the <em>Gazette<\/em>. \u201cI don\u2019t necessarily believe it was directed [antisemitism]. But it\u2019s been happening to a lot of them recently. We work in a very popular area for caf\u00e9s and food places.

The vandalism took place on the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the infamous state-sponsored Nazi pogrom throughout Germany targeting Jewish communities on Nov. 9-10, 1938. During the \u201cNight of Broken Glass,\u201d Nazis burned down synagogues, vandalized and looted Jewish-owned businesses, broke into Jewish people\u2019s homes, murdered Jews, and deported 26,000 Jewish men to concentration camps, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">At Mimimelon, a deliberate fire struck the restaurant late on Nov. 2 but was quickly put out before causing damage throughout the establishment. A second arson attack took place early on Nov. 4 and <a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com\/2026\/11\/05\/jewish-owned-montreal-bakery-destroyed-second-arson-attack-less-than-48-hours-owner-fears-her-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">completely destroyed the restaurant<\/a>. Montreal police said its hate crime unit and arson squad were investigating the fires. In September, a masked stranger walked in Mimimelon and yelled, \u201cAll the Jews will burn,\u201d before running away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In August, the kosher dairy restaurant N\u00f6am on Montreal\u2019s D\u00e9carie Boulevard burned down from a suspected arson attack, and in Toronto, two locations of Kiva\u2019s Bagel Bar were targeted. A gunman struck a window at one branch of the Jewish-owned bakery chain the same day that vandals smashed a window at a second location.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Last year, over two-thirds of all religion-motivated hate crimes in Canada were directed at Jews, who make up only 1 percent of the population.
