Nazi Cake

Saturday, April 16, 2011
I read an article recently about a baker in Austria that was caught decorating cakes with swastika signs. Apparently in Austria, it is against the law to use any Nazi symbols. The baker issued an apology and met with the head of the Austria Mauthausen Committee (MKOe). MKOe gave him a book about the Mauthausen concentration camp and the baker decorated a cake for them covered in Jewish and Christian symbols.

I was unaware it was illegal to use Nazi symbols in Austria, but I think it is a great idea. Using Nazi symbols is disrespectful to those that suffered during the Third Reich. I wonder if Germany or any neighboring countries have laws like this one.
