How 'Nazi gnome' making Heil Hitler salute could get artist jailed

At just 14in, few would think a tiny gnome would offend anyone.

Unfortunately for this model, he has been made giving a stiff-armed Hitler salute - which breaks Germany's strict laws against the use of Nazi symbols.

The gnome is one of 700 made by German artist Ottmar Hoerl which have been displayed in Belgium and Italy.

But Hoerl has landed himself in hot water after a member of the public made a complaint to police about the works.

Now German prosecutors in Nuremberg have launched an investigation into whether the artist's gold-coloured gnome violates the law.

Giving the outlawed Hitler salute or using Nazi symbols is a crime in Germany punishable by up to three years in prison.

Prosecutor spokesman Wolfgang Traeg said police have asked the artist and gallery what the intention of the work was.

'It's not a crime if it can be proved that the artist was being critical of the Nazis,' he said.

But Hoerl, who also created the giant blue and yellow euro symbol that was erected in front of the European Central Bank headquarters in Frankfurt in 2001, said he couldn't believe the fuss the works have caused.

'I'd have been executed by the Nazis if I had portrayed the super race as gnomes in 1942,' said.

The golden gnome, with an impish grin, was originally one of 700 used in a 2008 exhibition called Dance With The Devil in the Belgium city of Ghent.

The gnomes were also displayed without objection in Bolzano, Italy and Aschaffenburg, Germany.

'In Belgium everyone understood what was meant,' Hoerl said after inscribing the word poisoned on the gnome's base.

The gnomes are for sale £43 each - and about 400 of the 700 originals still in the collection are currently on display in Aschaffenburg.

Hoerl has a penchant for gnomes. In 2006 he produced 1,200 gnomes in the colours of Germany's national flag - black, red and gold - for an exhibition in Karlsruhe.

Gnomes originate in Germany from the late 19th century and feature in many German fairy tales, both as a force for good and evil.

BLOOD PASSOVER

At the dawn of civilization, the blood rite, in which human blood is drunk from the body of a still-living victim, was known to many tribes. However, only one people, that has never progressed beyond the Stone Age, has continued to practice the blood rite and ritual murder. This people are known to the world as Jews.

The author of this book is not Christian, Muslim or Hindu but a Jew and is the son of the Chief Rabbi of Rome, and a professor of Jewish Renaissance and Medieval History at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, just outside Tel Aviv.

The following translation was performed free of charge to protest an injustice: the destruction by the ADL of Ariel Toaff’s BLOOD PASSOVER on Jewish ritual murder.

They cut this Palestinian kid's arms for "throwing Stones" before murdering him

Repeat: The author is the son of the Chief Rabbi of Rome, and a professor of Jewish Renaissance and Medieval History at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, just outside Tel Aviv.

Dr. Toaff is uniquely qualified to write this book, being thoroughly familiar with the derivative literature in English, French, German and Italian, as well as the original documentary sources in Latin, Medieval Italian, Hebrew and Yiddish. This is not something he worked on in secret. On the contrary, he worked on it openly with his university students and colleagues in Israel for several years; one of his students was even going to publish a paper on the subject. The author is extremely careful about what he says, and his conclusions must be taken seriously. It reads like a detective story.

If it had been published in Israel, in Hebrew, no one would have cared. There are large bodies of literature in Hebrew that Jews do not wish Gentiles to know about. But Dr. Toaff’s announcement of its publication in Italy, in Italian, raised a worldwide firestorm of fury. Under unbearable pressure, the book was withdrawn from publication, and is not to be re-issued.

You can strike a blow against censorship by circulating this text by e-mail or posting in on the Internet. No one can sue hundreds of people.

If the text is all over the Internet, and everybody has it and everybody knows what is in it, the cat will be out of the bag, and it will have to be published – sooner or later.

Come in out of the darkness, and strike a blow for the light.
