Yuk! Strippers, beer... and Auschwitz

HOW sick can you get? Two British tour companies are offering stag night packages to Poland which include pub crawls, strippers... and a visit to Auschwitz.

Even more nauseating - if that's possible - is a comment from a manager of one of the firms who is quoted as saying: "People have told us they have had the best night out ever after they have been there."

The other firm invites potential clients with the words, "Why not take a break from your stag weekend mayhem and immerse yourself in a little world-defining history before the 20-odd pints later in the evening."

If there was a competition for the sickest offers of the year, these two stag night packages would certainly be hard to beat.


Menorah's a bright spark

JEWISH racing punters at the Cheltenham Festival were all lit up on Tuesday . . . if they put their money on Menorah.

For the 12-1 outsider romped home first in a thrilling finish to the opening race.

Second placed Get Me Out Of Here obviously couldn't hold a candle to the winning novice hurdler.


Ramos is a star (of David)

DO Real Madrid have a Jewish player on their books? For we spotted Spanish international defender Sergio Ramos' Star of David tattoo on his arm at the end of his team's Champions League game with Lyon.

Ramos was born in Seville - a city with strong historic Jewish links.

But there are not many Jews left in Spain, so maybe he is a Converso - a descendent of Jews who converted to Catholicism during the Spanish Inquisition.

We'll take a shot on it!


It's model advice for Bar

SUPERMODEL Bar Refaeli is not exactly popular with her fellow Israelis.

Already criticised for her avoidance of military service, she has now been warned not to marry her boyfriend, non-Jewish actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

Baruch Marzel, formerly of the Kach party, wrote to her on behalf of Lehava - an organisation dedicated to stopping intermarriage within Israel.

He told her: "Your grandmother and her grandmother did not dream that one of their descendants would one day remove the family's future generations from the Jewish people."

Perhaps she should listen for once!
