I'm more horrified by the discovery there are endless selfies taken there:

To be clear, this is not the Auschwitz museum. Point still stands.

I’ve been. It’s a truly harrowing place. People took selfies

Ah you are correct, I posted the wrong link.

Someone actually wrote a paper on it with examples

The real problem is vast majority of society has long forgotten and doesn't want to remember the final horror of fascism "othering" minorities, anti-diversity, etc. and that's why it appears in politics.

There's just something wrong with people who have to take selfies all the time.

I did a tour of Auschwitz recently and even after half a day of a tour that showed the horrors that occurred there people were taking selfies.
