In a separate but related case, a man in Weisswasser was convicted for a \u201CHolocaust-related\u201D comment he made about Ofarim after the scandal.

When questioned after the charges were announced, Oxana Berent insisted the family was innocent and invoked her family\u0027s Holocaust history as proof: \u201CWe don\u0027t joke about swastikas on our walls. My grandmother\u0027s family, they died in the Holocaust. Just her and her little brother survived, the whole family. We don\u0027t joke about that.\u201D She pleaded with the community not to judge her and her family, saying she would never stage something like that.
