The B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) has slammed a Burleigh Waters resident for flying a Nazi flag in his backyard over the Anzac Day Weekend. According to reports, the man said, “I’m not doing anything wrong”.
Dr. Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation Commission, issued the following statement:
“This is offensive on so many levels. Nazi flags have no place in the Gold Coast or anywhere else in Australia. Nazi symbols have come to personify pure evil and genocide, and the gratuitous use of such imagery is shocking, demeaning to victims of the Holocaust and a perversion of history. While it is hard to imagine what this man was thinking, it is revolting that there are still those who would openly support the ideology and crimes of a racist regime that murdered six million Jews and millions of others. Though it is not against the law, such bigoted and anti-Semitic expressions are deeply disturbing and must be unequivocally condemned.”
