Man charged for Auschwitz tattoo

Thursday 17th December 2015

GERMANY: Prosecutors said yesterday that they had charged neonazi National Democratic Party politician Marcel Zech with incitement after he appeared at a swimming pool with a tattoo of the Auschwitz death camp on his back.

He is accused of violating the country’s ban on the public display of nazi symbols.

Another bather took a photo of the tattoo, which also carried the slogan from the Buchenwald concentration camp’s gate, “Jedem das Seine’ — “to each his own,” and passed it on to authorities.

Zech had a tattoo of the ‘Schwarze Sonne’, black sun, a nazi symbol of Heinrich Himmler‘s SS as well.
