An anthology of comics set to he distributed in German schools is under fire for the use of a strangely profane anachronism. Chopin New Romantic, commissioned by the Polish Foreign Ministry, is a comic anthology on the life of Polish composer Frederic Chopin. But the use of "f@#%ing fag-holocaust" [a translation] by a skinhead character as well as the book's use of the f word in several other instances has created a stir in both Germany and Poland, according to Comic Alliance. The book has been scheduled for destruction.
