Protesters Assail Nazi Show at Jewish Museum
Protesters chanted “Don’t go in!” and “Shame on you!” as an exhibit on artists’ use of Nazi imagery--including the Lego and Prada death camps--opened at the Jewish Museum.
“For a Jewish museum to trivialize the Holocaust is outrageous and unacceptable,” said Dr. Michael Schulder, a surgeon who joined about 100 protesters behind police barricades across from the museum on Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
The exhibit also features a piece in which the artist has inserted a picture of himself with a Diet Coke can into a photo of concentration camp prisoners.
