From JTA:
In yet another example of a group using Holocaust imagery to make a point and having it backfire (see Wal-Mart campaign post), the Church of Scientology is using death camp photos to illustrate their campaign against the “psuedo science” of psychiatry. In a German traveling exhibit that decrys Sigmund Freud “a drug-abusing promoter of promiscuity,” the suggestion is that the Holocaust was somehow caused by psychiatrists, which hardly suprises Anti-Defamation League Abraham Foxman.
It doesn’t surprise us either, but when are p.r. people going to realize using the Shoah as a benchmark and comparing their cause only hurts their credibility? Lord knows, Scientology needs all the help it can get.
