Adolf Hitler's Name on a Birthday Cake

Wednesday December 17, 2008
No, I am not talking about a historic piece of Adolf Hitler's birthday cake that somehow survived over half a century. This story is about a modern three-year-old little boy whose parents named him Adolf Hitler Campbell. For little Adolf's birthday, his parents attempted to get his name written on a store-baked birthday cake. The store refused their request. The store had previously refused their request to put a swastika as a decoration on the cake. Read this Haaretz article for the full story.
