This is what all visitors see at the entrance to the building where first homicidal gas chambers of Auschwitz was created by the SS.pic.twitter.com/6Mm5gTkfSl
Everyone has the right to personal reflections. However, inside a former gas chamber, there should be mournful silence. It's not a stage. https://twitter.com/NewOrleansON/status/882209989913444352 …

This is where you dishonor your cause. Unless people can see it and discuss it then to them it never really happened. Knowledge is power.

Numerous photos of Auschwitz, past and present, are online. Having visited a camp, many would have found this action reprehensible.
#Respect -
I have visited battlefields and I have visited Le Struthof. Each evoked a palpable feeling of reverence that would preclude such behaviour.
-
That's the word I was looking for
"reverence," it has a sense of hallowness about it. Shame on Clay for the disrespect AND dog whistling.

According to Wikipedia, the building is a post-war reconstruction. The actual "former gas chamber" was blown up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_chamber …

Crematoria ovens are. But the building itself is standing. Gas chambers in Birkenau were blown up.http://panorama.auschwitz.org/tour1,5613,en.html …

Gotta love the folks focussing on challenging
@AuschwitzMuseum instead of the disrespectful use of the space.

why then was he permitted to stage this?
-
Because visitors are allowed to enter. There is a sign there to respect the place with silence.
-
When I visited, no filming was allowed.
-
Lady, you've missed the point. He wasn't allowed to do this yet he did it anyway.
-
Don't call me "lady"! I find it hard to believe he wasn't observed.
-
My apologies, dude.

Talking about issues is not disrespectful to the dead. Telling people they are NOT allowed to speak is how tragedies like this begin.
-
I just wanted to come here to say this: you're disgusting. Really, who on Earth do you think you are lecturing *them* on this issue?
-
At no point did the Museum suggest the Rep should be censored or pass judgement on the substance of what he said.
-
What they said was "this was not an appropriate place to film such a thing"--and they're quite right to do so.
-
It's repellent, selfish, solipsistic wastrels like you who give the concept of "free speech" a bad name in these dark times.
-
In that chamber, where so many innocents were slaughtered, silence is the very least that reverence demands of us.
