“Late last week, a reader sent City Pages a photo showing men dressed in German SS uniforms seated in the main dining room of northeast Minneapolis restaurant Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit surrounded by Nazi flags.
The source, who wishes to remain anonymous, had received the photo from a friend, but gave no further context about who took the photo.
Jon Boorom, a member of WWII Historical Re-enactment Society Inc. and owner of the Lakeville Barbers, says he was at the December event depicted in the photo, which he likened to “a Star Trek convention but for WWII enthusiasts.””* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

Ana, their purpose is obvious and your naivete is showing. They enjoy the “costumes” and wish they could live in Naziland. Nothing can be done for them, but to ignore their hatred and idiocy and hope that somehow, someday, it will go away.
You are so wrong on this, Ana. Hatred is NOT subtle, it sticks out with blaring purpose by what you do. Dressing as a Nazi and celebrating is a definite statement and one I despise.
