Paris under fire over Nazi salute

Paris Hilton is in trouble again. This time the hotel heiress has come under fire for pulling a “Heil Hitler” pose while partying aboard a yacht.
The reality TV star was pictured wearing a military-style hat and appeared to be pointing her hand upwards in a Nazi salute. But a spokesman for the American socialite insisted that she was merely dancing and scratching her face at the same time, reported Daily Mail online.
While not illegal, the pose is considered offensive and insensitive especially towards the Jewish community which suffered under the German dictator’s regime.
