The Campbells made news in December of 2008 when their local ShopRite store refused to personalize a birthday cake for their son. According to the store's spokeswoman, it was inappropriate to inscribe a "birthday wish to Adolf Hitler." The couple publicly expressed anger over the decision.LeHighValleyLive.com: Holland Township Family Angry... (December 15, 2008)
Removal From Home
In January of 2009, Adolf Hitler Campbell and his two younger sisters were removed from the Campbell home by the Division of Youth and Family Services, according to Holland Township police chief David Van Gilson. The Division of Youth and Family Services refused to comment on the issue, but Van Gilson stated that one of the police department's officers was present when the children were removed.
The children were allegedly removed after a neighbor of the family told authorities that Heath Campbell had abused the children and his wife, Deborah Campbell.FOXNews.com: Mom of 'Adolf Hitler' Denies Abuse Allegations (January 1, 2009)
The Campbell Home
According to the few visitors who have been allowed inside, the Campbells' home has many displays of Nazi memorabilia and symbolism. The apartment is kept clean, but is small for a family of five.
