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.

Actually, the Germans had people in Mexico long before Hitler was born. That might explain the “oom pa pah” sound of many mariachi songs.
I listen to a little of that music, and I always wondered;
“I hear Tubas! Big, blustery Biergarten Tubas, in that Vicente Fernandes song. How did that happen?”
I wonder if Russia will attack Mexico next.🤔
They look rather spiffy in their Hugo Boss designed attire. /s
Lol. This has to be from a movie set.
Sick.
These people are Castilian, they're White. Their kind are, or were found all through out South America at one time. Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele and all kinds of Nazis fled south at the end of the war as there was a large contingent of Germans living in South America even before WW2 began.
The tuba, accordion, and polka sound in Mexican music has to do with the Europeans that settled near the Mexican border. Same with Acadians mixing with Louisianans. Cultures mix.
Hitler planned to use Latin Americans as slave labor.
He thought better looking slaves than Africans.
Maybe they should name the kid Zimmerman.
They could rent themselves out for those that want to punk their friends. They could all show up packed into that VeeDub.
Mexican brass bands were a thing since the mid-19th century. Germany started mass production of brass instruments and they were a global hit. Mexico was more enthusiastic than most, and many German musicians moved there to teach and lead bands.
Btw, thats also why 100-150 years ago the waltz was the dominant form of Mexican music.
Linda Ronstadts ancestor was one of these immigrant German musicians (hence Ronstadt, she didnt get that from her US side).
Nothing to do with fleeing Nazis.
Don't forget the cyanide capsules!

When your neighbors are Mexican Cartels, it can’t hurt to look more fierce.
I understand a Nazi-themed restaurant in Malaysia has toned down their decorations.
Indeed.
