Jewish group wants 'defeated' Hitler doll
UK Zionist Federation asks Madame Tussauds to display Nazi leader's wax figure in more vulnerable position so that visitors can't take photos beside it
Not satisfied with the current wax figure of Adolf Hitler, in a story that seems to be more “Believe it or Not!” than Madame Tussauds, Britain’s UK Zionist Federation has asked the world-renowned wax museum to change the Fuhrer’s wax figure to make it look “more defeated.”
According to the Evening Standard, the UK Zionist Federation feels that making the wax Hitler stand so upright, might prevent museum visitors from posing with the figure while making the "Sieg Heil" salute.
"I have no problem with Adolf Hitler being displayed," said the Federation’s director of public affairs, Stefan Kerner. “However, we want to display him in a more vulnerable position or situation. Or he could be placed in a way that people can't take photographs beside him."
Additional security guards were brought in to guard “Hitler” following several complaints from Israeli tourists.
