GERMAN JEWS TO SUE OVER HOLOCAUST ADS
Expatica, March 17, 2004


Berlin - The Central Council of Jews in Germany intends to fight an 
American-based animal-rights group over a controversial campaign likening 
animals to victims of the Holocaust, according to a published report 
Wednesday.

Council Chairman Paul President has vowed to use Germany’s stringent laws 
against public display of Nazi emblems or slogans to stop the "Holocaust On 
Your Plate" campaign being launched in coming days throughout Europe by 
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), according to the report 
in Berliner Zeitung newspaper.

After making waves throughout the U.S. last year, PETA’s controversial 
"Holocaust on Your Plate" exhibit opens in Stuttgart Thursday, coinciding 
with a national advertising campaign.
