There should be a "Smarmy faces made to stick your middle finger up at" thread.

Ive been to that in Berlin. Its shit and insulting to the Holocaust

It pisses me off when I see people like that girl posing for photos in places like that as though they're at a fucking theme park. 

 

I've been too and it thought it was thought provoking walking down between the long tall columns. That image of the train tracks leading up to the gates of one of the concentration camps came in to my head and at one point I just stopped and felt uneasy and thought I was going to throw up. 

 

Why do you think it's insulting ?

Don’t have an opinion on whether it’s insulting to the holocaust or not, but I did think it was shit, and found myself utterly unloved by it, which surprised me.

If the memorial has emotional awareness, it clearly has good judgement.

 

Unfortunately, I suspect you meant "unmoved"?

Couldn't agree more, absolutely sickening behaviour.

The bit the picture is taken in was awful and summed the place up. It was an uneven floor and uneven columns. The sign said something like this represented the unbalanced and uncertain feelings of those jews who had been forced to flee to North America. So a slightly uneven floor was the same as fleeing extermination. Ok. Of course it is. 

 

Or the angular room that was a little bit dark (but not fully) where you could hear a bit of the outside world but not much. THis represented the isolation of the jewish people at the time. Fuck off. Its a silly room with a bit of outside noise. Not the same at all.

 

Patronising, and insulting shit probably created by an A level art student
