Group Wants Bakery Charged for Its Nazi Themes; Cakes Have Swastikas, Arm Showing Hitler Salute

The Cybercast News Service website reports today (April 7, 2011) that a Holocaust awareness group is urging government officials in Austria to prosecute the owner of an Austrian pastry shop that sells cakes decorated with Nazi themes.

The bakery -- located in the village of Maria Enzersdorf near Vienna -- features cakes that are decorated with swastikas and other Nazi era symbols, including an arm raised in a Hitler salute, the Mauthausen Committee said.

Manfred Klaschka -- the owner of the bakery -- said "If it's requested, it's made."

Austrian law bans the glorification of the Nazi era, and any attempt to diminish, deny, or justify the Holocaust.
