Culture minister blasts Holocaust-themed ice dance

Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev rebukes Tatiana Navka — the wife of Valdimir Putin’s chief spokesman — and her skating partner, who donned striped concentration camp uniforms complete with yellow stars of David to compete for top honors on a celebrity TV competition Saturday night.

Regev tells Army Radio that “Holocaust themes are not for parties, they are not for dancing, and they are not reality shows. Any attempt to present the Holocaust in that way is inappropriate.”

Navka is a former Olympic figure skating medalist.
