“Love is in the Village” contestant Jurica Živoder (left) has a Nazi slogan tattooed on his left forearm. The network behind Croatia’s reality series “Love is in the Village” recently removed from the show dozens of scenes that feature a contestant who has a tattoo of a Nazi slogan. The German phrase “Meine Ehre Heisst Treue,” which translates to “My honor is called loyalty,” was the motto of Nazi Waffen-SS soldiers, and is a reference to the group’s loyalty to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, according to the Anti-Defamation League. “Love is in the Village,” known in Croatian as “Ljubav Je Na Selu,” is a show about farmers finding their soulmates and season 13 contestant Jurica Živoder, 29, has the Nazi phrase tattooed on his left forearm. Viewers noticed it during the season 13 premiere, which aired on April 11. Two days later, the show’s network RTL Television Croatia — which is owned by a company based in Germany — removed all scenes and events related to Zivoder from the remaining episodes of the season, the Croatian weekly magazine Novosti reported. “RTL Croatia has a zero tolerance rate for various types of totalitarian ideologies, especially those related to Nazism and the controversial tattoo,” the network said in a statement, adding that it discussed the matter with Živoder and he supported the decision to remove the scenes. The network also noted that the farmer denies supporting Nazi ideology.
