The artwork sparked outrage at Burning Man and has been the subject of multiple complaints to the Ant-Defamation League.
An art exhibit called"Barbie Death Camp and Wine Bistro" has prompted outrage at this year's Burning Man festival with its creator accused of trivializing the Holocaust.
The controversial exhibit was put together by 65-year-old Jewish artist James Jacoby, according to California newspaper. A report in the newspaper noted that an electronic screen accompanying the display carried a message declaring it"The friendliest concentration camp" at the festival. The Anti-Defamation League said it had received several complaints about the exhibit. The group's San Francisco regional director, Seth Brysk, said that while individuals have the right to free expression,"using that free expression to trivialize the Holocaust for the sake of political, social or artistic ends is still deeply offensive and inappropriate. And we would ask people not to do so."J.
"It's not Yale University. You don't get to run and hide from something you don't like," Jacoby said."There's 1,100 theme camps. If you don't like ours, go to another one."
