'Offensive' Holocaust imagery on Catholic school's Halloween float condemned by bishop
A Catholic diocese in Pennsylvania has apologized for Holocaust imagery that appeared on a Catholic school’s Halloween parade float on Thursday.
In a statement Friday, Bishop Timothy C. Senior of the Diocese of Harrisburg condemned the float, which was presented by St. Joseph Catholic School in Hanover, Pennsylvania, at the town’s Halloween parade. He said he was “shocked and appalled” it included a replica of the Auschwitz concentration camp gate bearing the words “Arbeit Macht Frei.” #comedy
