I beg you and your colleagues not to let him off the hook. His excuse letter is pathetic and immediately tries to make him out as the victim. This was no “skit”, and nazi behavior should never be excused.

These antics reserved for clique of insiders that get paid and accure more politcal capitol doing it. He'll come to accept resigning as true freedom to exercise ridculous behavior with fervor for few years. Eventually realize he was duped and stupid, ask family forgiveness and die with regret.

I bet he’s rich and still couldn’t get away with the nazi shit, which is good. But there seems to be a dollar amount where you’re insulated. It’s not as if he is a nazi historian that believes in it, it’s a vacant hate.

His gestures were hurtful to many in our community. The memory of our family members who fought with their lives against Nazism in WWII and the genocide that occurred were deep. I hope his company can clean up what has occurred.

Look at the difference between his signatures on the first apology and the second. The first feels like he wrote and posted it himself. The second like his team did it and used the signature.jpg they had on file.
