And then this: a terrible Nazi gaffe! The one player about the 25-year-old: It's all for the show!

 

Pictures from the former concentration camp Auschwitz were shown in the one-player film by Dominik Mysterio (25).

Shocking: A photo emerged of a watchtower at the end of a stony path among the seemingly randomly assembled prison pictures supposed to represent Mysterio's alleged prison past. Next to it are brick houses and barbed wire fences.

Material from Auschwitz was used here!

The Germans murdered more than one million people in the former Nazi death camp until its liberation in January 1945. Most victims were Jews: a sensitive topic and a slap in the face of Holocaust survivors and their relatives.

The Auschwitz picture was shown in a scene in which the wrestler says of his "jail time," "I survived." ("I survived"). In social networks, there was much criticism about this.

How can something like this happen at a mega-event in Los Angeles, one of the most significant sporting events in the world, that has been planned down to the last detail?

Christoph Heubner (73), Executive Vice President of the International Auschwitz Committee, is appalled by the negligent handling of history. He said: "For survivors, this is an outrageous and shameless act of forgetfulness and cluelessness, which shows that knowledge of the history of Auschwitz is declining more and more, even in the United States. So the door is wide open for Auschwitz propagandists to march on the Capitol wearing 'Camp Auschwitz' shirts and wanting to rebuild Auschwitz."

How WWE is responding

What does the promoter organization WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) say about the incident? Unfortunately, the organization has yet to answer the press inquiry about why this photo was used in the event and how it got into the one-shot.

The video can still be seen in full length on the Internet on the official site, including the images representing the inhumane extermination mania.
