One, who visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau museum recently, is a small, yellow badeand, who travel the world around and take selfies in front of iconic buildings. But the visit in the concentration camp is not dropped in good soil with its followers or the museum. People are, to put it mildly outraged that the museum is not to be taken more seriously by the person. They believe that the small, happy and is disrespectful of the victims.

Is the rubber duck in front of the Gate of Death disrespectful - even unintentionally? Or is it a side effect of the visual world we should accept/ignore? pic.twitter.com/RVqqVPL9CH
the person behind the badeands account apologized and removed the image in front of Auschwitz.
however, It is not the first time that the museum draws attention to the inappropriate images and behavior. In the month of march put a notice up on Twitter, where they exhibited some visitors, who had been walking on the railroad tracks, which transported the prisoners into the camp. They asked people to take into consideration and respect the fact that over a million people had died in the camp.

When you come to @AuschwitzMuseum remember you are at the site where over 1 million people were killed. Respect their memory. There are better places to learn how to walk on a balance beam than the site which symbolizes the deportation of hundreds of thousands to their deaths. pic.twitter.com/TxJk9FgxWl

most users generally agree that one must be careful, when you visit the memorials of atrocities in the history of mankind. Also the World Trade Center Memorial and the memorial for Europe's murdered jews in Berlin should be mentioned as places where one should not take the happy ferieselfies.
