ANOTHER "HITLER" PUB

'Hitler Kaput' (NYSun)
"Jewish leaders in a Russian region are protesting against the use of Adolf Hitler's name by a new pub," the JTA reports.

The pub, set to open soon in the city of Ekaterinburg, is named Hitler Kaput. In a letter to the local mayor, leaders of the Jewish community said that any use of Hitler's name to attract public attention is unacceptable. Authorities haven't yet responded to the Jewish community.

The letter also referred to a similar development in India where a restaurant initially named after Hitler changed its name after protests from the Jewish community.

Says alot about anti-Semitism in Russia if the pub owners think naming the pub after Hitler would boost business.
