But a float at Mardi Gras seems a bit too in the face. If there are still survivors of the Holocaust who are offended by this then scrap it, it's too soon to be showcased at a festival. May well terrify any kiddies in the audience too. I know where yr coming from Sammy J, it's good that it's being acknowledged and should be openly spoken of. Perhaps it's the forum chosen to deliver the message that offended the Jewish group? Mind you, South America is no stranger to brutal dictatorial regimes.

I think the float should stay as a stark reminder to people who didn't live through the war. We are protected from the bad bits of life too much. hang on, are we to ignore this part of history and ban it from conversation from now on?
