Pulheim, Germany - A Spanish performance artist on Sunday transformed an unused synagogue into a gas chamber as part of a project to draw attention to the Holocaust.
Santiago Sierra directed the poisonous exhaust fumes from six cars into the former place of worship in the small town of Pulheim, near the city of Cologne.
Visitors wearing breathing equipment were allowed inside the synagogue one at a time in the company of a fireman to spend a couple of minutes walking around the carbon-monoxide-filled room.
Sierra, 39, said in a statement that he wanted to draw attention 'to the banality of remembrance of the Holocaust.'
In an initial reaction, the Central Council of Jews in Germany, condemned the action as 'an insult to the victims' of the Holocaust.
The internationally known artist, who lives in Mexico City, has been involved in other provocative works in past, including tattooing the backs of six Cuban men and dying the hair of Africans blonde in order to make them look European.
The Pulheim project, called 245 cubic metres, is scheduled to take place on Sundays except for Easter Sunday until April 30.
The former synagogue has not been used as a place of prayer since the 1920s. Annual art events have taken place there every year since 1991.

He needs to do that in active sin-a-gog full of jooze. Otherwise he's just wasting valuable fossil fuel.

The standards they have these days for what is considered "art" are really low. This spic sounds like your typical White hater, any White person who patronizes his exhibit is an asshole. We don't need more people taking money out of White pockets over the holohoax. I wouldn't be surprised if the kikes got upset by this, they've had a monopoly on exploiting the holohoax for financial gain so far. I don't know which is more of a joke about this story, claiming there was a holocaust, or labeling this untalented spic an artist.
Hail Jeboo!

What a great example of frugality. There are gogs everywhere. A few changes in the HVAC system and bam! Instant gas chambers! Thanks jews! Whites have saved a bundle on doing it right this time!
