Mr Kurzfield, a teacher, said: “It is unbelievable to stoop to doing something like that. I would urge Jewish people to boycott the village.”
But parish councillor John Daniel, one of the driving forces behind the move, said that the sign’s 10-year absence was “political correctness gone mad”.
He added: “I am 80 and I have always known it as Hitlers Walk. All the local people have known it as Hitlers Walk and they wanted the sign back.
“It's not offensive, it's just what local people call it.”
A fellow parish councillor, Jade Barron, said the village’s 4,000 residents considered the name part of their heritage.
She said: “We didn't want to offend anyone, it's just always been known as Hitlers Walk.
“It's a massive part of the village's history and it would be a shame to take that away.”
