BUCHAREST, Romania: A Romanian mayor has apologized for dressing up in a Nazi army uniform with a swastika insignia, saying in an open letter Thursday that he is not a fascist or anti-Semite.

Constanta Mayor Radu Mazare expressed his regret to people who were offended by his dressing up as an officer in the Nazi military at a fashion parade late Sunday at a Black Sea resort.

He said the uniform was a reference to the film "Valkyrie," in which Tom Cruise plays Col. Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, the aristocratic army officer who was among those executed after a failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944.

Mazare's gesture attracted criticism in Romania and abroad.

A Romanian anti-discrimination group urged the general prosecutor's office to investigate. In Romania it is illegal to display swastikas and conviction can bring a three-year prison sentence.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel called on Mazare to apologize and resign.

Efraim Zuroff, the center's director, "expressed a sense of insult and outrage at the poor judgment Mazare exhibited."

"It would hard to adequately describe the depth of the pain that your appearance caused, not only to Jews and other victims of Nazism, but to any person of moral integrity who knows the history of World War II," the center said.

Mazare, 41, initially said that he had not seen the tiny swastika on his belt and downplayed his actions.

"I want to present my apologies to all those who were upset or offended by my appearance ... I said then that I do not share the Nazi ideology, on the contrary I appreciate those who wanted to assassinate the mad dictator," he said in his letter.

"I do not share or espouse nationalist, fascist or anti-Semitic ideas."

Mazare said he had been to Israel three times, and had visited the Dachau concentration camp to understand what the Jews suffered.

In the past, Mazare has dressed up and paraded in public as Latin American revolutionary Che Guevara and James Bond.

Romanian President Traian Basescu and Mazare are political rivals, and when Basescu was asked about the Nazi army uniform during a news conference on Thursday, he criticized the mayor for "showing off in bad taste."

Romania was allied with Nazi Germany and fought against the Soviet Union in the first years of the World War II, before changing sides and joining the Allies in 1944.

Romania denied participating in the Holocaust until 2004, when it accepted the findings of an international commission that Romanian authorities killed up to 380,000 Jews during World War II in territories under their control.
