I saw groups of highschool kids laughing and joking around at Dachau and lots of amateur insta models doing their little photoshoots. On a tour of Auschwitz, we got to the oven room and some older dudes immediately started snapping pictures of the ovens and were told to stop. Cameras on phones and constant access to social media have broken people's brains
Kind of confused about taking pictures, what's wrong with that? Isn't it the point of keeping that place open as a museum that it's a record of what happened? Doesn't seem too bad to take pictures of it?
