German theater under probe for promising free tickets to those donning swastika

German theater under probe: A theater is under investigation for promising free entry to spectators who wear a swastika to a play named after Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” The theater has defended the move as a social experiment.
German prosecutors have launched a probe into a theater’s plans to offer free tickets to a play named after Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” to people willing to don a swastika.
A spokesman from the prosecutor’s office in the southern city of Constance said it had received a number of complaints about the theater’s offer. Under German law, publicly displaying the National Socialist symbol is illegal, with very few exceptions.
The theater is offering free admission to those spectators willing to wear an armband with a Nazi swastika, given to them ahead of the performance on April 20, Hitler’s birthday.
Those who pay for a ticket will be asked to wear a Star of David “as a sign of solidarity with the victims of barbarism,” the theater’s operators wrote on their website.
The prosecutors will determine whether the offer falls under freedom of artistic creation.
