Nazi Cakes: Austrian Pastrymaker Apologises

A committee commemorating Nazi victims has announced that an Austrian pastrymaker who came under fire for making cakes with Nazi symbols has apologised.

"I'm sorry this happened, and it's right that memories of this era are preserved," pastrymaker Manfred Klaschka was quoted in a statement by the Mauthausen Committee (MKOe).

Macrobiotic Diet - Yin and Yang Food - Advantages - Disadvantages - Theories
Macrobiotics is an Oriental theory that lays down guidelines for promoting well-being and longevity through systematic diet consisting mainly of whole grains and beans.

The committee had filed a criminal complaint against him last week for his catalogue of cake designs, in which he included a few creations decorated with swastikas or a baby raising its right hand in a Nazi salute.

"I see it was a mistake, anyone who knows me knows what kind of person I am. I am no Nazi," said Klaschka, who had earlier said he was just a pastrymaker fulfilling his customers' wishes.

MKOe president Willi Mernyi, who met with him, added: "I don't think we are dealing with a far-right pastrymaker here."

"I called him up because I got the impression via media reports that while he had done something wrong, he was sorry," Mernyi added.

As a sign of reconciliation, Klaschka made an Easter loaf decorated with Christian and Jewish symbols, while Mernyi handed him a book on the Mauthausen concentration camp, from which the committee takes its name.

About Detox Diet
A detox diet helps remove harmful toxins from the body and can be followed for a day or a week. Detox diet includes fresh fruits, vegetables, juices, water.

The criminal complaint however cannot be withdrawn, Mernyi told AFP Friday.

Under Austrian law, neo-Nazi activities and the public display of Nazi symbols are banned, and prosecutors still need to decide however whether pictures of cakes in a catalogue to be consulted at the pastry shop, as opposed to cakes on display, fall under the law.
