"The seller asked for forgiveness": Saw a picture of Hitler for sale – and decided not to stay silent

During a trip in the town of Agrigento in southern Italy, Reut Halevy and Omar Wolf came across a souvenir shop that displayed pictures of Hitler, and saw visitors posing beside them with smiles. Omar addressed the photographers, then purchased the pictures and tore them up in front of the seller. According to them, after they explained why the pictures were offensive, the seller expressed remorse. “We wanted to convey a message in a pleasant, non‑violent way.”
