Every theme is going to upset somebody. A fraternity obn my campus had a WWII Party and one of my sisters was upset because she is jewish. I don't think they meant any harm by it. A couple of brothers were jewish but not offended by it. There were a lot of girls dressed really cute. Some like Rosie the riveter, some like Pin up girls, some in camo attire. Overall it was a very fun party. My sister attended and everything was fine until one of the brothers had numbers on his wrist like in concentration camp...she was furious. Which I understand. It didn't even make it any better in her opinion that the brother was jewish...moral of the story any theme could offend someone.

He was Jewish so I wonder if he was attempting a misplaced history lesson or if he was making light of it. Sometimes people will downplay things that their ethnic group experienced so they can be part of the crowd.

I have heard of people getting their grandparents'/relatives' numbers tattooed on their forearms to commemorate them and spread awareness about the Holocaust after their passing. It's not common, but it's been done.

I hope he was attempting something similar.

I don't believe he was trying to make a statement. I believe it's that later that he was just making light of it. Which is sad
