Extreme ultra-Orthodox protesters dress a young Israeli child up in Jerusalem in an attempt to re-create this iconic photo from the Holocaust:
The demonstrators were protesting an effort by secular Israelis to roll back gender segregation on some bus lines and in certain neighborhoods—a dispute that has surged in recent weeks. Politicians from across the spectrum voiced outrage, as did Jewish groups in Israel and abroad, describing the display as an ugly trivialization of the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were murdered by Nazis and their sympathizers.
Using the Holocaust to argue for the segregation of women in public? Just a glimpse of the fundamentalist psyche and the liberation from any decency it permits.
