Lol, was at Dachau a couple of weeks ago and the teen-agers were being teen-agers. At first I was a little annoyed but honestly death is not a real thing to them and they are teen-agers.

It isn't as if she was shouting or disturbing a national cemetery, she posed for a picture. Most people smile for pictures. I am confused how the same people mad at her are probably the ones that supported the aforementioned shouter. |

What an asshole.
Doesn't she know that in order to be pious enough to visit Auschwitz, you need to wear sack cloth and roll around in a pile of ashes before you enter? To complete the appearance of a properly reverent individual, you must shed at least one tear, letting it streak down your cheeks. No smiling allowed. Genuflection at memorials is expected, prostrating oneself at the same even better. And, at all time, one must be consciously aware and shameful of the ongoing plight of The JewsTM. |

It's a somber and solemn place where many thousands of innocent people were systematically murdered. A place where one should learn and reflect on what happened, why it happened, and how to make sure it never happens again. In my opinion, posting a smiling selfie along the lines of "hey, look at me! I'm on a BOAT!" at such a place is in poor taste, but like I said, this is hardly the only or most egregious case of that on the interwebz. |

Especially since it was a trip she had planned with her deceased Father. |

Who cares and perhaps the whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Or.........she was saying to herself while taking the picture something like, "OMG.........I'm like totally at Auschwitz. Did something like bad happen here...........whatever".

Can't wait until they host the 1st Annual Auschwitz 5K. |

And several of the comments on the huffpo article degraded into "southern redneck" attacks. How shocking. Teen girls will be teen girls. I really don't see the big issue here. Hell...she'd have a similar face if she was squinting from the sun being in her face (if it had been sunny...). I imagine even that wouldn't have been an excuse. I've been to concentration camp...it's somber as hell. But if I had taken a selfie, I would have been smiling. Why? B/c people fucking smile when they take pictures. |

Which is why so many people find it odd (or even "wrong" for the easily butthurt) that one would be smiling at the site of a Nazi concentration camp. It's not a happy place. The emotions that a well-adjusted person experiences there generally do not result in smiles. So, some people seeing a picture like that naturally wonder, "why in the fuck is this girl smiling at Auschwitz?" Personally, I'm with Aimless - who cares. But I can see why it might raise an eyebrow. |

If she is from Alabama and being white chances are that she didn't vote for Obama. What would you want her to do, scowl in the photo? The photo was not a commentary on where she was at but smiling for her father who had eventually taken her abroad on several occasions. I visited Gettysburg a few years ago and saw people smiling and laughing and taking photos and how many people died there? Lighten up. |

I think as adults it's incredibly easy to lose sight of the fact that the vast majority of kids have no point of reference when it comes to *actual* horrors. They have been (in most cases) protected from the realities of life by a soft living in an incredibly rich and comfortable society. I find it tough to blame them for a lack of somber reflection on the atrocities that occurred there a full generation before they were born. There's really nothing wrong with that, either. One of the *main points* of building up our society is to make it easier and more comfortable for our children. You know that old saw "I go to war so my sons won't have to" and all that. |
