Hitler model is withdrawn after outrage

-

A LIFE-SIZE Hitler model used for selfies by visitors to an Indonesian museum has been removed.

Pictures shared on social media of people grinning as they pose with the Nazi leader caused outrage.

The model at the De ARCA Statue Art Museum shows the dictator in front of an image of Auschwitz.

Museum operations manager Jamie Misbah said: “We don’t want to attract outrage.”

Jewish human rights activist Rabbi Abraham Cooper said: “Everything about it is wrong. It’s hard to find words for how contemptib­le it is.

“The background is disgusting.”
