A rabbi filmed as he was subjected to hateful and "vile" road rage abuse in Melbourne's south-east including being told he "should've died in Auschwitz".

In the 20-second video, a middle-aged male passenger in a grey vehicle can be heard calling the rabbi a “f---ing selfish c--- of a Jew” as they sit stationary at a red light.

“Want me to get out and show you what Hitler did, no worries dickhead,” the man can be heard yelling.

“You should’ve died in Auschwitz.”

In the background the female driver can be seen waving and smiling, with the verbal abuse seemingly sparked by the rabbi making a call on his mobile phone.
