How Soon We Forget

Hitler and his crazed henchmen plunged the world into a nightmare of war and genocide. They came very close to total world domination and would have plunged the world into a new dark age. If there was ever a just war, the fight against the Nazis was certainly it.

Now, only 65 years after the megalomaniac dictator and his mistress killed themselves in a Berlin bunker, much to the dismay of his victims who would have loved to put him on trial and hang him, Hitler has become a sort of harmless mascot, lending his name and image to a number of bistros and restaurants throughout India and Asia. Names of these misguided enterprises include: Adolf  Hitler Techno Bar and Grill in Pusan, Korea  (because nothing says techno like a genocidal bastard like Hitler), the Modern Hitler Bar (also in Korea), or the restaurant called Hitler’s Cross in Mumbai, India, whose owner swears is not in bad taste.
