A family-owned restaurant shuts down after dining WWII re-enactors in Nazi uniforms triggers threats and backlash. đ #News #MiddlesexCountyMA #Massachusetts #Community. MIDDLESEX COUNTY, MA â A restaurant shouldnât have to shut its doors because of the stupid decisions of a few customers. Yet, thatâs exactly what happened to a small family-owned restaurant in Massachusetts this week, when a group of World War II re-enactors strolled in for dinnerâsome wearing Nazi SS uniforms. In todayâs hyper-aware world, symbols of hate, even in historical contexts, carry weight far beyond their intended message. While the restaurant acted in good faith, it became the unexpected target of harassment, leaving staff overwhelmed and the business temporarily closed.
