Concordia covers up Nazi billboard tied to art grant
Artist Tilly Woodward protests a covered billboard from a $3,500 grant project along I-70 between St. Louis and Kansas City. A two panel image showing a Nazi soldier hanging a man and woman was blocked after local businesswoman Nancy Oetting and city officials raised concerns about German heritage and perceived Nazi support in Concordia. The signing company cited an immediate removal, arguing the piece was an affront to Jewish faith and public sensibilities.
