German hotel slammed for holding 'prison parties' in former Nazi chambers

London, May 28 (ANI): An upmarket German hotel has been condemned for using their cellars to hold 'prison parties' that Nazis once used as torture chambers. The City of Hamelin Hotel was a prison for 150 years before being converted in 1993. Party-goers were charged 44 Euros to attend the functions during which they dressed up in striped prison uniforms and were ordered about by the hotel staff dressed as prison warders. The hotel's website featured pictures of guests being locked in wooden stocks by grinning and uniformed warders. The hotel earlier claimed that the parties were popular with groups of office workers and usually ended with the boss being locked up in a solitary confinement cell. But when the site's pictures provoked fury, the manageress of the hotel denied any wrongdoing. "We don't think we're hurting anyone," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Der Spiegel magazine. (ANI)
