A Mexican couple has sparked fury after holding a Nazi-style wedding honoring Adolph Hitler.
Fernando and Josefina tied the knot at a church in the state of Tlaxcala - east of Mexico's capital - on April 29, the anniversary of Hitler's marriage to Eva Braun.
Fernando and his three groomsmen wore replica suits of the Schutzstaffel, a paramilitary unit that served the Nazis - while Josefina wore a white gown.
The themed wedding was condemned by Simon Wiesenthal Center in a statement.
'Our institution strongly condemns the distortion and trivialization of the memory of six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and contempt by those who deny or obfuscate history, as also all those who took part of this Nazi wedding or authorized it,' said Dr. Ariel Gelblung, director for the center's Latin America branch.
'Mexico must adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism and incorporate it into its legislation to prevent such hateful behavior.'
Mexico's National Council to Prevent Discrimination (CONAPRED) slammed the couple for their poor taste, indicating 'it is necessary to remember the terrible events that took place on European soil during the Holocaust, a crime without parallel in the history of humanity.'
It is the second time the couple exchanged vows, doing so in a civil ceremony on the same date in 2016.
They were met with death threats at the time after a person who attended the wedding party took to social media to share a photo of their cake, which featured a swastika
Fernando, who works in government, and Josefina are parents to two children, Reinhard, named after the Reinhard Heydrich, the Schutzstaffel general, and Hanna Gertrud, in honor of Nazi pilot Hanna Reitsch, who reportedly rescued Hitler from a bunker and Gertrud Scholtz-Klink, who led the National Socialist Women's League.

Um, no.
If hitler was alive, he’d hate them. lmao
Gee- they look so happy-
First anniversary: bunkers and firearms.
well, the uniforms are period correct anyway...
Ironically, Hitler would have “cleansed” both of them from the gene pool...hardly arian....You can’t fix stupid.
I’m amazed a priest allowed them in his church dressed like that.
Weird. What do a pair of Mexicans have to do with Hitler? He would have put them in a diet camp...
Seriously.
How long before they hear the goosesteping of littl feet.
A Volkswagen LMAO...
lol..
Until I saw it was in Mexico, I was going to say, “No Mr. FBI agent, I do not wish to attend your wedding.”
They sound friendly. Wonder what they’re doing for Christmas?
It’s getting ridiculous for Hitler to remain the standard bearer of evil when the American left has plunged to the depths where Satan dwells.
They could honeymoon down in the Führerbunker then go out just like Adolf and Eva.
Poor Blondie.
A lot of Nazis were rumored to have fled Germany toward the end of WW2 and moved to South America. From Mexico all the way down into Argentina. This may account for certain popular Mexican music that has Tubas in the horn sections.
Don’t step on their self-identifying selves.
What’s more absurd? A man who has a medical or a biology degree dressing up and identifying as a woman or these two tone deaf loonies?
