Jewish community leaders have expressed outrage at a Nazi hobby shop specialising in memorabilia connected to Adolf Hitler.
The shop, in the Causeway Bay Centre, Sugar Street, has been in business for three months and caters to history buffs and war-game enthusiasts with special interests in Nazi Germany, according to its owner, Adrian de Almeida, 18.
He admired Nazi ideology based on power and domination and the 'undeniable achievements of Hitler'.
The shop is full of Nazi paraphernalia, from life-sized posters and photographs of Hitler and other Nazi chiefs to swastika emblems, flags and old German military uniforms, as well as models of machine guns.
A Secondary Five student, Mr Almeida said his father supported him and helped him pay for the merchandise.
'You can't deny that Hitler was a great leader despite his obvious flaws, and what the Nazi movement achieved for Germany before World War II,' he said.
