Auschwitz Survivor asserts exactly that, gets ripped

    Yeah. The thread title overstates it. I'd also bet there are a lot of survivors who will see that and get rankled by it.

    But those people went through hell, so just about anything Auschwitz or Holocaust related that isn't absolutely solemn, is going to be upsetting for them.

    I can't see how anyone who didn't live through what those people did, can have a negative opinion of a survivor who sees this and finds it upsetting.

    I also don't see how anyone can have a negative opinion of the guy in the video because he chose to return and turn his survival into a celebration for others to see.

    The Holocaust is one of those rare things where no matter how you approach it, someone who lived through it is going to be upset.

    And they are all right, and none of them are wrong, because no matter how you slice it, it just sucked and different people deal with the horror in different ways, I guess.

    I think it's awesome and they should do it whenever they want. I also think they are some lousy freakin dancers.

    I wonder, not that it matters that much, if it was his idea or his descendant's?
