Protesters invade Hitler art sale
Protesters have stormed an auction in Cornwall of watercolours believed
to have been painted by Adolf Hitler.
Aaron Barschak, a comedian who gatecrashed Prince William's 21st
birthday party, and a man dressed as Hitler were ejected from the
auction.
They disrupted the bidding, offering "six million because the painting
was a Mussolini" in a "comical protest".
During the auction in Lostwithiel, 21 works of art attributed to Hitler
sold for a combined total of £118,000.
'Comical protest'
In 2003 Barschak, a self-styled "comedy terrorist", scaled the walls of
Windsor Castle and entered the royal party wearing a pink dress, a
false beard and a Osama bin Laden-style turban.
On Tuesday he said he was protesting because the sale of paintings by
the Nazi dictator was offensive.
Barschak's wife Tamara, 34, described her husband as "an intellectual
Jew".
"This is a comical protest," she said.
"The sale here is offensive - it should never have been held.
"It's not a surprise that when they did decide to hold it they chose a
quiet village in Cornwall.
"If it was in London there would have been protests. Adolf Hitler was a
mass murderer and to make money from that is wrong."
Some relatives of Holocaust survivors have also denounced the sale and
said the pictures should be burned.
'A bit grotesque'
The 21 paintings and two pencil sketches under the hammer at Jefferys
auctioneers were found in an old suitcase in a Belgium attic, close to
where Hitler served during World War I.
Dr Paul Newgass, the vice president of Exeter Synagogue, described the
auction of the work believed to be the Nazi dictator's as "a bit
grotesque".
He said: "It's stirring up the past and a slap in the face for the
families of Holocaust victims.
"I can understand why some people feel so distressed, but I don't think
the auction will impact on the day-to-day aspect of Jewish life."
Auctioneer Ian Morris said the interruption was "just one of those
things".
''These are historical documents and we can't change history.
"Maybe it's not so bad to bring this man back to the fore, so the
things he did are never forgotten.''

No doubt you're pleased about that.

Well, I have no problem with people buying and selling Hitler's
paintings, but it does sound like a rather comical incident.

Oh yeah. Totally hilarious, and *so* "original".

And ironic since the jew in Europe cornered the art market, not
because
they like art unless it is of the "modern" e.g. porn type, but
because they
recognise the financial gains. Everytime a work of art comes on the
market
now, some jew somewhere jumps up and squeals - "It's mine, It
belonged
to my family in - Pick a city, country - *any* country. And the
person
who bought it has to hand it back to the "family" who claim to have
owned it.
"It was stolen from my family". "We had to sell it for less than it
was
worth because we needed the money to flee". 'The Nazis took it from
our
house" etc. etc. etc. etc.
One can't help wondering where these jews managed to accumulate so
many masterpieces Perhaps the jew Saatchi could tell us, I understand
the Iraqi jew is quite a collector and financier of artists if you
can call
someone who considers a black Madonna covered in elephant dung a
lover of art.

"clever".

Neiether should the exhibition held in Brooklyn some time ago
under the auspices of the jew Saatchi. It was offensive to
Christians.

No comment:)
Book burning? The commies in the 50's didn't like it and here they
are
urging the burning of art. Funny that.
