I have related in the past the story of my friend Rambabu who I worked with for five years and established a good friendship. During the flap over the restaurant named 'Hitlers Cross' I brought up the issue with him. Ram told me he never learned about WWII history or the Holocaust, and he did not find anything offensive about calling it Hitlers Cross. It was after that I refused to speak with him for over 1 1/2 years... But we still talk from time to time (he has left my company)...
