Some slam Nazis, others dance at right-wing ball (AP)

VIENNA ? Participants at a memorial to 2 million Jews murdered in Adolf Hitler's Auschwitz death camp are condemning plans to hold a ball later in the day that attracts extreme rightists.

They say the timing ? and venue, just steps from their commemoration in the Austrian capital ? constitutes a macabre affront to Holocaust victims.

Ball organizers insist the fact that the event this year falls on the 67th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation is coincidental. They deny suggestions that those attending are extremists.

But opponents remained critical Friday. At a wreath-laying for Auschwitz victims, Greens Party head Eva Glavischnig suggested ball attendees "will be dancing today on the graves of Auschwitz."
