Wiesenthal Center: American Academy Of Cosmetic Surgery Has Expelled Prominent Japanese Surgeon For Praising Hitler, Denying Nazi Holocaust And Nanjing Massacre | Simon Wiesenthal Center

The Simon Wiesenthal Center is praising the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS) for terminating the membership of Dr. Katsuya Takasu, one of its most prominent members, for using social media to openly praise Adolf Hitler and deny the Holocaust and the Nanjing Massacre (see below). The Center had urged the AACS to take action against Takasu earlier this year, saying that social media posts by the doctor—a popular media celebrity in Japan — “… violate all norms of decency and reveal a person who is a racist anti-Semite and outright lover of Nazism.”
