I have racked up a shocking range of outrageous behaviours in Auschwitz and other sacred sites.

When a selfie goes too far: How Holocaust memorial sites around the World combat social media disrespect.
Organizers of the Holocaust memorial sites earnestly ask for respect, demanding visitors to stop posting selfies on the railway tracks leading into the buildings, the same tracks that transported trainloads of prisoners during World War II.
They recommend to the visitors : “When you come to Auschwitz, remember you are at the site where over 1 million people were killed. Respect their memory. There are better places to learn how to walk on a balance beam than the site which symbolizes deportation of hundreds of thousands to their deaths”.
In an age where social media has become ubiquitous, Holocaust memorials face a special challenge when it comes to educating their visitors about appropriate posts.
There are also cases, however, when it is clearly visible that the authors of such photographs took the images for fun, without being aware of the place where they are, and sometimes the site of the former camp is used as a stage for stupid jokes.
Today, January 27th, 2023 is the 78th Anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps and the end of the Holocaust.
On January 27th 1945, Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and death camp, was liberated by the Red Army.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is an international memorial day on January 27th, commemorating the tragedy of the Holocaust that occurred during the Second World War.
It commemorates the genocide that resulted in the deaths of 6 million Jews and 11 million others, by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.
