I witnessed something like this too, when I was visiting Auschwitz Museum in 2007.
Tourists taking happy laughing selfies in front of the many bulletholes in a wall where 100's were executed. And I got disgusted by how some of the visitors acted like they didnt understand that they were in a place of mourning and great tragedy.

@auschwitzmuseum A report released by the #AntidefamationLeague (#ADL) on Jan 12, 2022 describes the rise in antisemetic beliefs in America. We must never forget the impact of the #Holocaust or that it arose from thoughts and beliefs that must be condemned, even now. Thank you to the #AuschwitzMuseum for never forgetting.

Jakob durfte nur 9 Monate alt werden, bevor er von willfährigen Gehilfen eines menschenverachtenden Systems ermordet wurde. Derselbe Abschaum kriecht wieder aus seinen Löchern.

In my family noone was willing to talk about their experiences and the family members murdered by the Nazis, sometimes they took their stories to the grave, occasionally they would eventually open up about it and I believe it may have helped them to do so.
This is why #AuschwitzMuseum is so important
Actually there's one thing that people still on #twitter could do : go to your favourite activist, artist, comedian, journalist, news outlet, representative, writer... 's account and ask them to transfer the content relevance to the #fediverse instead of making butter for the biggest private skewed platform on the internet !
And when they tell you "but I live from my twitter following", tell them how the #AuschwitzMuseum made in a month the following that took them 5 years to build on #birdsite

@auschwitzmuseum What makes the individual stories so moving is that they share birth years with my grandparents and especially my parents who lived full lives whereas those featured perished in such terrible circumstances. #AuschwitzMuseum #Humanrights
If you follow only one new account tonight, please make that account @auschwitzmuseum.
Listen to the stories. Look at those who suffered an unimaginable horror. So that they may not be forgotten. So that others may avoid the same fate.
We must confront the discomfort of the imagination to prevent nightmares becoming reality.

John Boyne just won An Post author of the year. To suggest this is problematic is an understatement.

@ezbub @jenstirrup @auschwitzmuseum So do I. I visited #Auschwitzmuseum in the early 1970's. Several times since. This must never happen again. I stand against fascism in all it's forms. This why I do what I do. In our own small way we are all a part of that bulwark against the emerging forces tht threaten us. #Liberty #AntiFa #RejoinEU
