A Prague court ruled that a neo-Nazi group can march through the city’s Jewish quarter on Kristallnacht.

This is the second time that the court has overturned a City Hall ban on the march by the National Resistance, according to the Czech daily Lidove noviny.

The rally is scheduled for Nov. 10, the anniversary of the 1938 German pogrom.

Prague officials banned the march, saying it would contribute to inciting intolerance and hatred against citizens on the basis of their ethnicity, origin and religious conviction.

Prague’s Jewish community will gather the same day for prayers to remember the victims of Kristallnacht, according to Lidove noviny.
