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.

The ultimate trigger wedding.
One of the comments at the article was “If it had be done on Stalin’s or Mao’s or Marx’s birthday, honoring any of them with all of their symbols, NO ONE IN THE MEDIA would be complaining. Frauds + Hypocrites = Media”.
Mexican beer has a connection to German brewing...
The program at Auschwitz worked much better than 'Slim-fast' or 'Golo' for rapid, sustained weight loss.
