Beleave it or not, in Germany and Austria all Sambaschool would go to prison. There are sincetists searching for how the Nazis did it exactly to kill up to 20000 people per day
and how they did get rid of the bodys. If what they find out is not they same, what was beleaved before and prevered by the Government, and speak or write about it, they go to prison 2-5 years.

I’m no brasilian, so don’t understand the culture but I was seriously thinking getting last minute plane to Rio De Janeiro for that weekend. Being jewish, if I had saw that float I would have been alittle upset really, it wouldn’t have spoilt the event. I think these people have made a naive mistake. We could help them understand by comparing it to doing a float at the London Carnival with John Charles de Mendes who got shot in London, with dancing policeman over him.

Olá Paula! Tomo a liberdade de fazer minhas as palavras da Ana. Muito obrigado pela citação e parabéns pelo excelente artigo que expõe com muita propriedade e dignidade as opiniões cambiantes dos bloggers brasileiros quanto ao ocorrido com a Viradouro esse ano. Não conhecia o site e, esteja certa, aqui voltarei com freqüência. Forte abraço!

Great article, Paula! I wrote another update on the issue today, badly translating the “press release” Viradouro put up on their website.
