Investigation Promised in Spoof of Auschwitz

Dutch prosecutors said they would investigate a spoof video portraying the Nazis’ Auschwitz death camp as a techno party and decide whether to take action against the makers.

About 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, were killed at the Nazi-run camp in Poland.
