Amsterdam — PETA’s controversial “Holocaust on Your Plate” exhibit is coming to Amsterdam. The display, which consists of eight 6-meter-square panels, each showing photos of factory-farm and slaughterhouse scenes side by side with photos from Nazi death camps, graphically depict the point made by Yiddish writer and Nobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer when he wrote, “In relation to [animals], all people are Nazis.”

“Auschwitz begins wherever someone looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks: they’re only animals.”

— Theodor Adorno (1903-1969), German Jewish philosopher forced into exile by the Nazis
