WARSAW - A Polish nightclub has come under criminal investigation after it used an image of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler to promote an event.
The club Sklot, located in Warsaw’s bohemian Praga district, had hoped the picture of a typically animated Hitler sporting a pair of banana-yellow glasses would attract customers to the event, reports The Telegraph.

Polish law outlaws the use of images and symbols associated with totalitarian regimes if they are deemed to be promoting a political system.

Investigators are considering whether the disco’s management intended to glorify Hitler or made an innocent mistake.

A man known only as Ruff T., issued a hasty apology, and said that they had meant no offence. (ANI)
