A health spa triggered controversy with an advertisement on its website to enjoy a “long romantic Kristallnacht,” ahead of this week’s anniversary of the night Nazi forces burned synagogues and murdered Jews across Germany in 1938.

The health spa, Kristall Sauna-Wellnesspark mit Soletherme, is located in Bad Klosterlausnitz in the eastern German state of Thuringia.

Critics lampooned and expressed outrage over the spas’ advertisement on Twitter and in blogs. One blog entry wrote “I kid you not” and linked to the advertisement.

A Twitter message said, “Unbelievable: Thüringen spa advertises ‘long romantic Kristallnacht’ celebrations on atrocity’s 75th anniv.”

1. I can't wait to see how they celebrate the firebombing of Dresden! n/t

3. OTOH, they just got me to link to an article with the spa's name

Mission accomplished?

4. A nice soothing hot stone massage, perhaps. n/t

2. I can imagine there would be some takers.

I'll refrain a really crass comment.

5. Seems like a mistake, they apologized for the mix up

The employee said, “we apologized for the mistake and there was nothing political” with respect to the advertisement. The advertisement was online as of Sunday and was apparently removed on Monday. An apology appeared on the website on Monday, stating “we are ourselves ashamed of the mistake” with the name Kristall inserted as part of Kristallnacht in the advertisement.

One means Crystal, the other Crystal night if I am not mistaken.

6. OK, but if you were, say, the "Holo Holistic Local Spa"...

... you wouldn't advertise your "extremely low Holo Cost", would you?

7. In this case it is " Welcome to the crystal sauna spa park", so a crystal night

does not seem like something out of the ordinary to advertise.
