    The unnamed man, 32, from Glauchau in in the German state of Saxony, posted a photo of a miniature of the Auschwitz camp and an offensive caption, the Associated Post reported.

    The sentence was handed down at the district court in Hohenstein-Ernstthal in eastern Germany. During the sentencing the judge, Manfred Weber, told the neo-Nazi defendant that “you made fun of Auschwitz survivors — that’s very bad,” according to the Associated Press.

    He was previously charged with criminal assault and with posting other photos that displayed a swastika and images of Adolf Hitler, which is illegal in Germany.
