Wanted: Common Sense and Human Decency

I wanted to throw up when I read this article:

"A new niche trend has arisen: pensive photos of teens balancing on the cattle car train tracks that lead into the Auschwitz memorial. Makes you nostalgic for the innocent days of concentration camp selfies and innocent games of Swastika beer pong, doesn’t it?

The Auschwitz Memorial Museum has posted a frustrating plea on social media for young visitors to stop using the rails on the train tracks at Auschwitz as a 'balance beam.'

'When you come to @AuschwitzMuseum remember you are at the site where over 1 million people were killed,' a representative for the museum wrote on the site’s official Twitter page on Wednesday morning. '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.'"

And who can forget the idiots who played Pokemon at Auschwitz?  I'm sure this appeal by the Museum will do nothing to stop the selfish, stupid, irresponsible behavior exhibited by teens and adults alike when it comes to Jews and the Holocaust.
