New Show in Belgium: Hitler’s Favorite Dishes

October 24th, 2008 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags:

You can’t make this stuff up: a Belgian TV channel has come under fire because it will start air a show about Hitler’s favorite dishes.

The show is entitled “Plat Prefere,” or “favorite dish.” The host, cook Jeroen Meus will travel to Hitler’s hideouts in southern Germany where he will prepare one mean after another all loved by Hitler.

Jewish, resistance and political prisoners’ organizations responded furiously: VRT channel has received many complaints, yet said it would run the show nonetheless.

The organizations fear that the show will turn “Hitler into a banal figure, thus sending the wrong message to the youth,” as explained by Michael Freilich, the editor of Joods Actueel magazine.

“Plat Prefere” will be aired October 28. In response to the criticism, VRT said it would do everything in its power to “put Hitler in the right context.”
