Hitler restaurant to change name
The owner of a Mumbai restaurant called Hitler’s Cross, which opened last week, has bowed to pressure from India’s Jewish community and agreed to change the name.
As reported on www.leisureopportunities.com earlier this week, the restaurant carries a large portrait of the Nazi leader and used advertising material featuring the Swastika.
The owner – who said he did not want to promote Hitler, merely come up with a name which would make his establishment stand out from the crowd – has reportedly agreed to remove the Nazi symbols and Hitler’s name following meetings with members of Mumbai’s Jewish community.
