Haha this is some of the funniest photoshopping I've seen in a while. Rvfs photoshopping is getting stronger.

Yolo lifestyle doesn't take death seriously. Or tragedy.

She's probably just ignorant. Somebody get that girl a copy of Schindler list.

Must be a Madame Tussaud's version of the one in Poland, then.

The photoshopping is indeed exquisite. The funny/sick thing is she looks like she might have Jewish or Polish descent (to my untrained eye, at least).

[kbell]

I think its a fake smile. In the past I would be offended by this, but she probably doesn't know how to react to it. The selfie should be a meme like that girl who smiles after the burning house. The ones posted so far are hilarious!

Very few people in the media actually know or even care to fact-check. You'd think basic geography regarding one of the worst incidents in history would be important but their research leaves a lot to be desired, Cunnilinguist.

Birdie, those photos nearly made me lose it. Classic. Just classic.

And now her life is potentially ruined because she's stupid or ignorant as a young-in. Parents need to teach the danger of selfies and internet imortality.

I think there is a big trend to always look for a scape goat. Of course I think the selfie thing has gone too far, but this kind vilification is the same shot feminists are trying to do guys all the time.m

Think abou all the guys with bad game who fail in their approaches. This is a selfie fail.

I think that playing blame game on the same way that the other side does is giving ground to their frame.

It's letting the other side set the rules.

slutty looking forehead wrinkles. I see a girl like that and it's like are in the girls with gap teeth or ginger girls- you know they are being sluts. Probably because they are insecure

Would it be less "outrageous" if someone took the photo for her? Don't you guys take photos when you travel?

Some of you just need to chill - it's not 'red pill' to get angry about every little thing.

I agree. I don't understand the faux rage.

[BortimusPrime]

This really reminds me of that Seinfeld where everyone went apeshit because Jerry made out with his girlfriend at Schindler's List. And that was at least other jews getting pissed off, jews who likely had relatives who came from Europe. Where it gets really stupid is when you have people who have absolutely no connection to the Holocaust becoming offended simply because they've been trained to reflexively react to perceived racism.

[Truth Teller]

As a Jew with relatives who died in the Holocaust, I can't even begin to express how angry this makes me.

It's disgusting how self-centered people of my generation are. At least a million people died in that fucking camp, and all that little bitch can do is take a fucking selfie.

It's like Bieber hoping that Anne Frank would be a "belieber." WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?

People take pictures in front of the Colosseum, a place of terrible atrocities as well, like that all the time. What's the difference? I think she's probably just a dumb girl who is un-aware of PC stuff. Either that, or a very sophisticated internet troll.

I don't see why the internet is freaking out over that.

Keep in mind that we are all probably evolved from millions of generations of killers. Let's not white wash our evolution. Think about all the people that were killed out of cold blood so that we could be alive right now.

I'm not saying the holocaust was nothing, but the truth is that mankind has been committing genocides for a long time. There are monuments that were involved with that kind of thing which are now tourist attractions that span many hundreds of years.

I'd bet $100 that this girl didn't really even care about where she was. She was probably just happy to be in Europe away from her parents and slutting it up. I think the problem is that we as a people are losing touch with our roots.

I think the real reason people are mad is because this incident reminds a lot of them that they are getting old. That the events and things they cared about might not matter to as much to a new generation as it did to them.

I don't see any inkling of Internet troll sophistication in her. I see someone who went to what she considers a "landmark" and a "historical place" without understanding the gravity behind why such a place would be marked with a designation such as those.

She also sounds like she has her head firmly up her ass in the video and I can't be sure of her age in order to make an accurate assessment. Assuming she's over 18, the true question evolves: WYB? For me, that big-ass forehead doesn't help.

I agree.

I have a friend who just came back from vacation in Greece. I asked if they had seen the ruins.

"Nope. Just hung out in the hotel. If you've seen one ruins, you've seen them all."

I thought that was interesting.

I also have a friend who celebrated July forth at the battlefield in Gettysburg. I asked if they did the fireworks there, and they said something along the lines of "that would have been in appropriate"

All of this stuff is relevant, but it's more or less so depending on who's still got a connection to each event.

They are great, often terrible, historical events.

I do think this picture is egregious, but I also think that if people are going to make a big deal about it, then they should also make a big deal about all those other places of atrocity that people take selfies at, like the Aztec ruins. I haven't seen as much commotion from people in central America over something like this- I don't know, maybe they should be mad as well:

And what about Hitler Cats http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/cg...igmiaow.pl ?

To me, this is all just a sign of civilization makes a lot of trash out of everything.. even things that are important. It's the way we make light of all the crazy shit that doesn't make sense to us.

Couldn't have said it better, brother. The ruins of the Coliseum in Greece were home to all kinds of atrocities but people tend to gloss over it because of how long ago they occurred. In addition, people don't really identify with it; in all honesty, how could they? The concept of animals versus humans or even humans versus humans in one-on-one combat is archaic to the point that most people won't even give it a second thought.

Gettysburg was one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War even though it merely lasted a few days. A considerable number of people lost their lives yet many people merely see what once was a battlefield of death and decay as just farmland or rural countryside.

Both of these locations are somber but for different reasons. Unfortunately there are very few people in the younger generation that actually understand the reasoning. It's a damn shame.

There's a got to be an evolutionary reason for why we don't have generational memory.

We do inherit emotional traumas, but I have a theory that if we all remembered every battle and vendetta that came before us, we would not be able to survive deep into the future.

The human race intentionally forgets some things.. as a healing mechanism, I believe. That said, we still work to evolve towards becoming a better creature.

We are, right now, at the crest of a wave.

Consciousness is defined as being able to strategize future scenarios. I believe we might need to have a better understanding of where we are coming from if we are going to avoid making the mistakes of the past.

Well, we do have the phrase of "Never again". There is also the phrase of "Always forgive but never forget." I feel as if these two phrases are consciously overlooked in order to defer to the advancement of the society. We look to become technologically superior each year but we lose another piece of our humanity with each passing phase.

We do evolve but I think it would behoove us to remember traumatic events if only as examples of the kinds of things to avoid and to prevent history from repeating itself. The phrase "History always repeats itself" exists solely for the fact that people don't learn from past mistakes. I can't see why the things you and I have mentioned would be any different, unfortunately.

Auschwitz could be considered the birthplace of the greatest Jewish victory in 2000 years. The place nearly synonymous with the legendary event that began the sounding of the as yet bottomless wellspring of white guilt and the creation of the Jewish homeland.

This may be a horrible Christian perspective, but if I were a Jewish guy who chose not to fight for his beloved Germany but instead was rounded up and sent to a camp to die, there is nothing that would make me happier than seeing my grand daughter happily living in a world that finally respects the sovereignty of her people, and that I did not die in vain but instead was part of achieving a goal two millennia in the making.

You Jews need to lighten up. There are a lot of people whose grandparents died on Omaha beach and elsewhere for your territorial redemption. It's time to move on.

Operation Overlord had nothing to do with the liberation of Jews in concentration camps. Several other kinds of people were also imprisoned as well. D-Day and the invasion of Omaha beach had to do with breaking up the Nazi stranglehold in France so the Allies could push further into Europe with the eventual goal of reaching Germany to prevent the Third Reich from taking over the entire world.

Don't use something like the D-Day landings and the associated Allied deaths as political fodder. That's just disrespectful to assume that it had anything to do with territorial acquisition or redemption.
