Jewish Groups Protest Weight-Loss Ad Featuring Holocaust Victims
Jewish organizations have denounced an Estonian newspaper for publishing a mock ad for weight-loss pills depicting emaciated Jewish prisoners in a Nazi concentration camp.
Efraim Zuroff of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem on Sunday called the ad, which appeared in the Eesti Ekspress weekly, a “perverted attempt at humor at the expense of the Nazis’ millions of victims.”
