A JEWISH father from north London has spoken of his outrage after his five-month-old daughter’s birth certificate was returned from the Home Office ripped and with his birthplace of Israel scribbled out.
The father-of-three, from Edgware, and his wife Dorin, 29, were stunned when she opened the envelope only to discover baby Ronnie’s document had been tampered with.
“She found it was ripped half way through and my place of birth — which was Israel — had been scribbled out with a pen,” the father, whose first name is also Israel, said.
“We felt as if we had been taken back to 1930s Germany where the Nazis would put notes on Jewish people’s documentation. It is completely warped and it hurts my heart that my daughter is not even six months old and she has already been discriminated on in the worst way,” the 32-year-old, who did not want to reveal his surname, told MailOnline.
