"Nazi Sexy Mouse" Poster Allowed in Poland; Prosecutors Say It Is Art and Can Remain

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) website reports today (July 16, 2010) that a huge art poster that features Mickey Mouse's image with a swastika and a nude woman's body has outraged Jewish leaders in a Polish city.

The poster -- which went up in June in the western city of Poznan just steps from a synagogue -- is an Italian artist's take on what he calls the "horrors" of the American lifestyle.

"Nazi Sexy Mouse," by Max Papeschi, is one piece in a contemporary art exhibition opening this fall.

Prosecutors say the poster is art and does not violate Poland's laws against glorifying Nazism.
