Israeli YouTube Hitler parody infuriates Holocaust survivors
By Ariel Zilber, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Jewish World, Tel Aviv 

Holocaust survivors have called for the removal from YouTube of a clip parodying Adolf Hitler searching for a parking space in Tel Aviv.

The clip shows an excerpt from the film "Der Untergang", a 2004 movie about the fall of the Third Reich, with subtitles that show Hitler ranting about the dearth of available parking spaces in the coastal city, a problem familiar to Tel Aviv residents who own vehicles.



Noah Flug, the chairman of the Center of Organizations of Holocaust Survivors and a survivor of Mauthausen concentration camp, sent a letter to YouTube demanding that the clip be removed due to its sensitivity.

The clip originally included Hebrew subtitles which were then translated into English due to popular demand. The blurb accompanying the English clip states that the jokes included may not be suitable for all audiences.
