No - and apologies for the flashy headline.
But a heart 'thank you!' to the folks in Minneapolis who shamed a Nazi-themed party by re-enacting the deportation of jews before the restaurant.
Protest at Gasthof restaurant over Nazi-themed party
A small group of people staged a silent protest Wednesday for the victims of the Holocaust outside Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit, a German restaurant in northeast Minneapolis that recently hosted a Nazi-themed party.
Some of the protesters carried sacks. Some carried suitcases. All wore a triangle or yellow Star of David, symbols that Germans forced Jews and other targeted groups to wear in occupied countries.
I found a quote of the less than lame 'explanation' from the organizer of the party only in the German article, which brought my attention to it
Protest in Minneapolis: Mit Judensternen gegen die Nazi-Party
Der Veranstalter des makabren Events, Scott Steben, sagte einem Stadtmagazin, mit der Party hätten sie nicht das Dritte Reich verherrlichen wollen. Sie sei eine Übung für Schauspieler gewesen, die historische Rollen spielen. Er selbst habe ein paar Mal einen deutschen Soldaten dargestellt.

The organizer of the macabre event, Scott Steben, told a local magazine that the party was not meant to glorify the Third Reich. Instead it had been an exercise for actors, who play historic roles. He himself would have portrayed a German soldier several times.
Why is it, that those folks just can't own up to their crap?!
Again - thank you to the folks in front of the restaurant for that creative and impressive answer of civility.
