Amazon has decided to pull a controversial ad campaign that included Nazi imagery off of New York City subway cars following public backlash.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) announced Tuesday that Amazon will no longer run ads for its new television series called "The Man in the High Castle" due to growing outrage from NYC subway riders and social media users.

"Amazon has just decided to pull the ads," the spokesperson told FOX411 on Tuesday.

The campany's announcment to take down the ads was made after elected officials and straphangers denounced the campaign, which was displayed on the 42nd Street Shuttle train that runs between the Times Square and Grand Central Terminal. The ad featured insignia from Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to promote the new show, which is about an alternative world where the Nazis and Japanese won World War II and have taken control over parts of the U.S. The series is based off of Philip K. Dick's novel by the same name.

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio issued a statement saying the ads are "irresponsible and offensive to World War II and Holocaust survivors, their families, and countless other New Yorkers," reports The New York Post.

Likewise, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz blasted the ads, saying, "As a Jew I am offended, and as a New Yorker I am embarrassed," said the assemblyman, a frequent advocate for Holocaust survivors and their families. He added that "The MTA should be ashamed of themselves and this ignorant advertising campaign, as it is offensive not just to the Jewish community, but to all Americans."

Meanwhile, commuter Ann Tobak told WCBS radio that she thinks the ads inappropriate.

"They should go back and look at history and understand why this is something the average subway rider would prefer not to be dealing with. Plastering the subway car with Nazi insignia struck me as inappropriate."
