Holocaust Days of Remembrance posters headlined "No Jews Wanted Here!" have been causing a stir at the University of Utah.

The posters, depicting an Aryan looking man and woman, were designed after a 1938 Nazi propaganda poster, said Leo Leckie, executive assistant to the U. associate vice president for diversity.

There have been meetings to explain the context after the office received a few complaints and some posters were torn down or vandalized.

"People should be offended," Leckie said. "They are meant to get people thinking."
