Well I'm sure they'll let you vacation for free... In the Siberian Gulags :)
Watch out. You laugh at this as if it's some Marvel Universe pop culture thing. In fact, some of the readers here have families that were sent to Siberia during or shortly after WW2. You wouldn't joke about concentration camps. I hope.
Yes, this needs to be said. I've read stories about Siberian Gulags and they are really not something to joke about.
My grandfather. 1936.
Uggg sorry if I offended anyone.
People are being overly sensitive. Don't worry about it.
I don't think he was offended, just pointed out that it happened.
That said I found the original joke quite un-amusing and I think it didn't add much
Technically, my grandmother went to a camp that was west of proper Siberia. (Something about being family of a war hero in what they called the Polish-Bolshevik war.)
