Dutch Website offers obscene video of the Holocaust ...

Tuscaloosa News reports that the Simon Wiesenthal Center as well as Jewish rights groups are up in arms over an internet video that exploits the holocaust. The video in question is named "Housewitz" a pun that combines the idea of House music and Auschwitz. In the video Nazi soldiers are posing as DJ's and that's just the start of it. The video is being shown on 2 Dutch and one Polish Website. Evidently it's not considered illegal for the Dutch website "Geenstijl" which translates into "no style" (or no morals or no remorse). According to the Amsterdam Public Prosecutor since Geenstijl did not make the video and are just posting it , it's legal.
