Positively depicted Nazi symbols are illegal in Ukraine, yet one toymaker is testing the waters with an Adolph Hitler doll.
The memory of WWII is still alive in Ukraine, Russia, and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. This war cost the region millions of lives. Despite Ukraine's laws stating that positive Nazi images are forbidden, a doll in the image of Adolph Hitler is now available for sale.
The doll includes amazing details and is complete with a change of clothes. Miniature shoes, belt, and jacket (complete with swastika armband) are packaged neatly with the doll. Unfortunately, the issue of this doll may be a response to increasing neo-Nazi sentiment among some citizens in Ukraine.
Marketing a Hitler children's toy is as bizarre as using Stalin's image as an encouragement to bill payment - and as inappropriate.
