quote: | Dear foreign customers,
I am the owner of "Adolph Hitler Bar".
I've been snubbed by some foreign customers ever since I opened a cocktail
bar named "Hitler". But I couldn't answer their questions nor explain my thoughts because of the difficulties of different languages.
I'd like to say that I don't believe that Hitler was a good person either.
I can totally understand why foreigners are upset. I've learned his brutalities against the peace of the world from books, TV and movies.
As you know, Korean had a similar situation with Japan during WW2.
I have upsetting feelings about what Japanese did to Korean as well, If I
saw a bar name "HiroHitto " in other countries, I should feel the same way.
I am not a Nazi, the bar name came out at a meeting with interior designer.
We just wanted a name that can be related to or represent Germany, easy to
remember and easy to design the interior with. We couldn't think about the
history point of view when picking the name. The name "Hitler" was totally meaningless, it was nothing more than a material for the business.
I feel shame and I'd like to make a sincere apology for using the name
without being able to consider how foreigners might feel. I also thank to Mr. Lebow and his wife for letting me know my big mistake and giving me the chance to publish a written apology. |
Tyvärr har jag har igen aning om vem hiro hitto var, men jag e ganska säker på att han inte systematiskt dödade miljontals människor för att dom hade fel religon/hudfärg/åsikt.
