Auswitch? FFS
I cringed (oh yes) when the BBC announcer pronounced it this way last night.Do you not think it shows a certain lack of care or understanding by the BBC over this topic when they cannot even announce the name correctly?

Why do they keep it there, I can't fathom that.
Yes it serves as a reminder and all that, but it's so close to the town, regular people will have to walk past it every day. Can't get my head around why they didn't / don't flatten it. It's not like it would make it easier for the deniers to, erm deny!
When you get a serial killer or some other sicko in the UK, once the trial has completed they destroy the house where the crimes took place, completely shred them so that there's nothing for trophy hunters to collect. IMO they should do the same to Auschwitz, it's been 70 years, it has no business being there.

king WOW!Its there to serve as a reminder. To educate people in what happened. To being home to people the sheer SCALE of the atrocities committed.
I can't believe anyone who had actually visited it would ever think "it has no business being there". Go and visit and then ask the question. You might know the answer.
The most moving and affecting place I've ever visited. I find it hard to believe that even after something like that, genocide is still committed by so called civilised people.

I agree. I find the approach of keeping it open as a theme park and promoting tours rather odd. I wish they could find something more positive to talk about. Flip Martian said:

Perhaps we should blow up the cenotaph? Fill in the WW1 trenches? Remove the Arizona? After all regular people have to walk past these everyday!

What on earth have you ever read or seen that makes you think its a theme park? "Come and ride the Zyklon!" Take a trip into the haunted gas chambers where actors dressed as starving and dying prisoners leap out at you".Get educated on the subject before talking. Really.

Are you happy with the war memorial wherever you live that names the local people that died in WW1 and 2?

This is turning into a classic thread.
Anna Franks house is still there where she grew up in Amsterdam Should it go or not? Unless you lived through the time people where taken away to be gassed I couldn't answer.
My mothers neighbours where taking into the back of a lorry because they where Jews. Never to be seen again.She always had a inner hatred against the German soldiers who took them.
The irony, in my mothers old age she was looked after by a German housekeeper who couldn't do enough for her. Life is strange.

"Find something more positive to talk about"? Yes let us never mention it again, it is to upsetting! Far better to hide it in the shadows and forget it ever happened! FFS!
Theme park? Staggeringly insensitive and stupid.

I have already expressed my feelings regarding the subject in an alternative thread in the forum.
Would need to mention that I have learn't about some characteristics, attitudes, insensitivity and lack of respect regarding the subject by some posters within this thread. I wouldn't believe it unless I read it.
