Store: No cake for Hitler

HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 15 (UPI) -- A Pennsylvania man has complained a local grocery store refused to decorate a birthday cake with his young son's name: Adolf Hitler Campbell.

Heath Campbell, 35, who denies the Holocaust took place and decorated his home with swastikas and Nazi paraphernalia, said The ShopRite supermarket in Greenwich Township refused to print his son's name on a cake to mark his third birthday, the Harrisburg (Pa.) Express-Times reported Monday.

Campbell said the store has also refused to decorate cakes with his 1-year-old daughter's name -- JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell.

"They're just names, you know," Campbell said. "Yeah, they (Nazis) were bad people back then. But my kids are little. They're not going to grow up like that."

"Other kids get their cake. I get a hard time," he said. "It's not fair to my children."

Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman, said the store is standing firm in its Hitler ban.

"We believe the request to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate," she said.

Campbell said he was previously able to purchase cakes with Adolf Hitler Campbell's name on them at a WalMart location in Lower Nazareth Township.
