On Monday, authorities were looking into the incident.
"We are currently looking into this matter," Philadelphia police told Fox News Digital. "A video has surfaced showing a sign at the Philly Barstool bar, located at 1213 Sansom Street, reportedly from Saturday night. We are working to gather more information and will provide an update as soon as possible."
Fox News Digital reached out to the Philadelphia Police Department for comment.
Portnoy said he was sending the two culprits in the incident to Auschwitz to learn about the Holocaust and the atrocities that took place in Poland.
Temple University said one of its students was involved in the incident, and the student was placed on interim suspension, according to FOX 29 Philadelphia.
"In the strongest terms possible, let me be clear: antisemitism is abhorrent. It has no place at Temple and acts of hatred and discrimination against any person or persons are not tolerated at this university," the school president, John Fry, said in a statement.
