When London videographer Anthony Aurelius sent newlyweds Stan and Claudia Gocman unedited footage from their wedding, he didnt realize that the video was littered with his anti-Semitic remarks. The Jewish couple havent accepted his sniveling, handwritten apology.
A wedding videographer revealed just how vile he could be when a Jewish couple caught him making anti-Semitic remarks on their wedding video.
The racist camerman, Anthony Aurelius, didnt realize hed kept the tape rolling while chatting with his assistant during a central London wedding shoot last year. Mental, Israeli dancing, isnt it? Theres a real feeling of like, theyre better than everybody else. Jewish, Aurelius said in the video.
Thats why Holocaust, his assistant said.
I dont think I blame Hitler, Aurelius replied cooly, while filming the bride.
Stan and Claudia Gocman, of Edgware, London, were shocked to find the muttered remarks in an unedited version of their wedding video.
Its completely anti-Semitic and ignorant. At first, I was really upset but then I was furious, Claudia, 27, told The Mirror.
The couple said they were 'very upset and very angry' after hearing Aurelius recorded remarks.
But that wasnt the only problem the couple had with the videographer.
At first, Aurelius sent them the video from another couples wedding. It took nine months for the videographer to deliver his finished product. But that was so terribly done missing important moments and capturing backs instead of faces that the newlyweds agreed to pay extra for the raw, unedited film.
Thats where they heard Aurelius racist rants. He bashed the happy couple and their guests during the reception, making fun of what he called Israeli dancing.
At the same time, he called Jewish people the meanest people in the world.
Not a lot of niceness about them is there? Very little warmth, he said.
He also exposed his bigoted stance toward Jewish women. Aurelius reportedly made fun of the wedding guests while they danced at the reception. 'Mental, Israeli dancing, isnt it?' he said.

Some of the Jewish women are very beautiful to look at ... But I can tell you, theyd be right f-----g cows. Very f-----g snooty, theyd be a pain in the arse, he said in the video. "Not a very attractive bride at all.
They think theyre better than everybody else because theyre from Israel, Aurelius continued.
The couple thinks he might have held a vendetta against them for choosing his basic package instead of the more expensive options. They considered filing charges, but decided against it after finding out that Aurelius video business had shut down.
Aurelius later sent the couple a handwritten apology. I see now my character is weak and need to look at myself, the camerman wrote. I am deeply sorry I offended you.
He enclosed a check with a full refund.
But the damage was already done. The Gocmans said their memories of the wedding were scarred by Aurelius hateful words.
Hes a disgusting little man. I cant even stand to watch the video, it makes me so angry, Claudia said.
Buddy of BHO?
The poor couple. They’ll always have those rants in the back of their minds whenever they watch the footage . . .
Then again, my wife threatens me every anniversary with THE VIDEO!! Maybe it’s a secret blessing in a way; one less weapon in the bonfire of the vanities.
Neighborhood Bully by Bob Dylan
Well, the neighborhood bully, hes just one man
His enemies say hes on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
Hes the neighborhood bully
The neighborhood bully just lives to survive
Hes criticized and condemned for being alive
Hes not supposed to fight back, hes supposed to have thick skin
Hes supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
Hes the neighborhood bully
The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land
Hes wandered the earth an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn
Hes always on trial for just being born
Hes the neighborhood bully
Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said he should apologize.
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad
Hes the neighborhood bully
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That hell live by the rules that the world makes for him
Cause theres a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a license to kill him is given out to every maniac
Hes the neighborhood bully
He got no allies to really speak of
What he gets he must pay for, he dont get it out of love
He buys obsolete weapons and he wont be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side
Hes the neighborhood bully
Well, hes surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now, they wouldnt hurt a fly. To hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
Hes the neighborhood bully
Every empire thats enslaved him is gone
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon
Hes made a garden of paradise in the desert sand
In bed with nobody, under no ones command
Hes the neighborhood bully
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
Hes the neighborhood bully
Whats anybody indebted to him for?
Nothin, they say. He just likes to cause war
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed
Hes the neighborhood bully
What has he done to wear so many scars?
Does he change the course of rivers? Does he pollute the moon and stars?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill
Running out the clock, time standing still
Neighborhood bully

What a pig.
Handwritten note along with a refund. It does have some marks of a real apology. Even if he wrote his note with a mocking intent, I get a peculiar sense that this guy is a future convert.
Funny, my mother recently came across some 8 or Super8 reels of her wedding and had them digitized. She didn't say anything about any untoward acts on the discs. Then again, it was the late 1950s.
“Anthony Aurelius.” With a name like that, it’s no surprise.
Hey liberal Jews love 0bama!~!~! Different story with Israelis however.....they hate the POS
