The Hong Kong Holocaust and Tolerance Centre strongly condemns the use of Nazi era uniforms and the Nazi salute at a recent public event in Hong Kong. The actions were highly insensitive and disrespectful, as these symbols are reflective of the genocidal crimes of the Nazi regime and its profoundly dehumanising, antisemitic and racist ideology. The use of Nazi symbols in popular culture is deeply problematic and must not be tolerated.

These symbols of hate, ignorance and bigotry have no place in an open and tolerant society that is respectful of different faiths, cultures and traditions. Event organisers should take immediate action when confronted with such displays, as the use of Nazi symbols is not acceptable in any setting.

During the Holocaust, Nazi Germany and its allies persecuted, discriminated, expelled and murdered Jews and members of other minority groups. Over six million Jews were murdered. We call on all members of the community to refrain from trivialising or glamorising these historical atrocities.

香港猶太大屠殺及寬容中心強烈譴責最近在香港一個公開活動中使用納粹時代制服和納粹敬禮的行為。這些參與者的行為都是極其不恰當和不尊重的，因為該些符號反映了納粹政權的種族滅絕罪及其違背人性、反猶太和種族主義的意識形態。在流行文化中使用納粹符號極有問題，絕不能容忍。

這些仇恨、無知和偏執的象徵在一個尊重不同信仰、文化和傳統的開放包容的社會中並沒有存在的空間。活動組織者在遇到這種展示時應立即採取行動，因為在任何場合使用納粹符號都是不可接受的。

在猶太大屠殺期間，納粹德國及其盟友持續對猶太人和其他少數族群成員進行迫害、歧視、驅逐和殺害。超過六百萬猶太人在這場種族大屠殺中被殺。我們呼籲社會大眾不要輕視或美化這些歷史暴行。
