PARIS - An Internet film clip that depicts the Auschwitz death camp as a rave party drew sharp criticism from a leading Jewish rights group Wednesday, which urged authorities to order the film to be removed from several European Web sites.

The 3-minute video depicts SS soldiers as DJs and flashes offensive messages over images of concentration camp victims. The video alternates black-and-white photos of Holocaust atrocities with color images of youths partying at an open-air rave.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center's European office in Paris denounced the film as "outrageous," saying in a statement that it goes "beyond the bounds of freedom of expression to an unprecedented level of obscenity."
Jaroslaw Mensfeld, a spokesman for the Auschwitz Museum, said he was "absolutely shocked." Some 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, were killed at the Nazi camp during World War II.

You are so....closed minded. It's art.
( SARCASM)
Don't the french have laws against this sort of thing. But then again we critics are not french and cannot appreciate "art" the way that they do. (sarcasm off)
I doubt if the people who made this piece of crap and the people who enjoy it care what you and I think. It is very much like the North American Man/Boy Love Association (or much of daytime television). If you get enough freaks together in one place they can convince themselves that they are perfectly normal.
I have no doubt these sick bastards are patting themselves on the back for their ability to express themselves. Somebody needs to beat the hell out of them.
The people who made this are nothing more than contemptible.

Well, if the filmmaker were to be decapitated by an angry Hasid, they would stop showing the movie, wouldn't they?
sick, sick, sick.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
Why are they always demanding removal of scenes from movies, and retractions of speeches?
The next thing you know they'll be writing the speeches for the Pope too.
Is this it? - it seems to be a spoof of an ad for a rave party - It sure doesn't make me want to go.

There is no excuse for this. None whatsoever.
Have you seen this "rave" video? How can you compare it to a speech by the Pope?
Would would you say if these rave filmmakers decided to make a porn flick featuring Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II?
I couldn't have said it better myself.
"Why are they always demanding removal of scenes from movies, and retractions of speeches?"
Who is "they?" The Dutch Government? The EU whose membership is mandated to enact hate speech laws? Or the Polish head of the Auschwitz Museum?
I think the better question here is why you always post on threads with Jewish subjects with nothing but nastiness.
Why don't you go discuss the Pope on a relevant thread.
OMG. This is mind-numbingly sick.
