Another contributor is Marcel Breuer, a Jewish-Hungarian whose art helped him escape from Nazi Germany in 1935. Walter Gropius, head of design for functional design firm Isokon, offered him a position in England working on new plywood furniture designs. The chairs that resulted, two of which are present in the exhibition, are the ones that most lend themselves to being mass produced...
...accused of fanning hatred against the Jews; Spielberg's, which won the Best Picture Oscar and six others in 1994, dramatizes the toxic effects of that hatred, and the ability of one man--the gentile factory owner Oskar Schindler--to save 1,200 Jews in Poland during the Nazi Occupation. The two movies are kin, though, as serious, violent historical dramas made against great odds--and as personal testaments that, their directors have said, transformed them as artists and men.

The implication, of course, is that these people are not evil dictators...
...further its cause, summed up by PETA President Ingrid Newkirk as “total animal liberation.” Last year, its activists began a campaign entitled “Holocaust On Your Plate,” likening the slaughter of stockyard animals to the genocide undertaken by Nazi Germany. On the PETA-controlled website dedicated to that campaign, www.masskilling.com, images from concentration camps are juxtaposed with images from the stockyards...
