Can't you make fun of nazism?

1250 garden gnomes that heils - That an artist put up in the german city of Straubing.

But somebody gets mad about this. Nazism can never be fun says Max Mannheimer, which is a vice president of an organization of kz-camp-prisoner.

The artist Ottmar Hörl says that his intentions where to make fun of Nazism.

I find it very funny, a garden gnome that in it selfs is pretty fun, which is heiling.

Is nazism too serious a subject to be made fun off?

I dunno. Maybe sometimes it's funny but tbh there is nothing funny on that gnome, lol.

as long as you don't make fun of the holocaust i don't care.

I believe myself, that nothing is too serious to be made fun of. Though some subjects may disturb, shock, offend certain individuals in certain ways, therefor you shouldn't tell germans/jews etc. jokes about Hitler/holocaust etc, since it may offend them, in such ways that will be hard to understand because these events may have influenced your personal life, in a way, that would make it a weak spot for ridicule etc.

On the other hand, artists is of course going over some peoples lines, to get public recognition, or to be able to call it an artwork, since alot of people defines art as something that stirs up your mind, make you think etc.
