The Diocese of Harrisburg in Pennsylvania has condemned the use of Holocaust imagery on a Halloween parade float organized by St. Joseph Catholic School. The float included a replica of the Auschwitz concentration camp gate with the notorious slogan associated with Nazi death camps. Bishop Timothy C. Senior expressed deep outrage, calling the display profoundly offensive and unacceptable, and emphasized that the original float design did not include such imagery. The diocese has apologized to the Jewish community and pledged to review its approval processes, as well as to work with Jewish organizations to provide Holocaust education at the school.
