Wiesenthal Centre Calls for Boycott of Hitler Wine

THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: The Nazi-hunting Simon Wiesenthal Center has called for a global boycott of an Italian company that sells wines featuring images of Adolf Hitler and Nazi slogans on its labels.

"The Wiesenthal Center denounces the marketing of these products and urges wine distributors in Italy and around the world to send the only message the owner of this firm might understand that they choose not to do any business with someone using the Nazi mass murderer as a blatant marketing tool," said Rabbis Marvin Hier, dean and founder, and Abraham Cooper, associate dean, in a statement.
