The guy survived the holocaust, what more is there to be said? Let him dance.

No, it certainly isn't a sign of respect to those who didn't live - but not everything has to be; and it doesn't seem outright disrespectful to me, either.

Bizarrely funny. I give it a 7.

1. That he can still dance is sufficient reason enough for him to dance.

2. That he has ********** off the neo-nazi groups is sufficient justification in itself.

^This, both.

Let me be the first to say this:

if he's forbidden to dance, the Nazis have won!

Beerina · 13th July 2010, 01:52 PM

Can't they arrest him for hurting the feeling of old Nazis?

What's the point of surviving the holocaust and living if you can't celebrate surviving if you want to. Other survivors may not want to, or able to, but that is up to them.

Exactly.

Doesn't this give the finger to the Nazis? It seems to me that way, and I'm inclined to approve of rubbing their noses in how utterly they were defeated.

DC · 14th July 2010, 12:05 PM

just saw that in the news, placed a big fat smile over my whole face.

up yours Nazis.
