Culinary show on Hitler's favorite meal condemned
Cooking program on Nazi leader's favorite dish to be aired next week in Belgium comes under fire from Jewish, resistance and political prisoner organizations
A culinary show on Adolf Hitler's favorite meal to be aired next week in Belgium has come under fire from Jewish, resistance and political prisoner organizations.
In his series "Plat Prefere," or "Favorite Dish," professional cook Jeroen Meus goes to Hitler's haunts in southern Germany to prepare trout with butter sauce, "a succulent festive meal" and said to be one of Hitler's favorite meals, the program's trailer announced.
Michael Freilich, the editor of Joods Actueel magazine, leads the criticism saying Thursday it is worrying Hitler is turned into a banal figure, thus sending "the wrong signal" to a younger generation.
The VRT network will air the show October 28 and said it will put Hitler "in the right context."
