The Sweet Taste of Anti-Semitism
Is now available for your coffee:
Small packets of sugar bearing the likeness of Adolf Hitler and carrying Holocaust jokes have been found in some cafes in Croatia, prompting an investigation, the office of the state prosecutor said on Monday.
The company responsible is Pinki and its owner Anita Ivanecic has no comment: "You can write whatever you want, but I won’t comment anything."
Of course not, since the Novi List daily newspaper noted that the packets have become very popular in local cafes and restaurants. Thousands of these packets have been distributed for months and it took an official protest by The Simon Wiesenthal Centre before they were recalled. Holocaust denial is not a crime in Croatia, unlike a dozen European countries including Austria. There was no immediate response from the authorities, but Zuroff said that the existing law against ethnic, religious and racial intolerance should be applied.
"The local district attorney in (the eastern town of) Pozega has opened an investigation and is currently looking at the matter," said Martina Mihordin.
