Auschwitz
“A selfie?! Why in Glub’s name…? Seriously why did…. I give
up” All this and more was my lovely reaction top, Ahem, “Auschwitz Selfie Girl
Breana Mitchell Defends Her Controversial Picture”. Oh and one trigger warning
#Rant. Ok here goes.
“Breanna Mitchell posted the selfie on June 20th. About a month later, it went viral.” Good rant material indeed sir.

Ok so if you don’t understand what Auschwitz is or you
believe in the conspiracy that the Holocaust didn’t happen, just click-ety on
here (http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005189). Basically this girl Breanna went to Auschwitz
a year after her dad died and took a picture of herself, a selfie, smiling. I
personally think that’s a little messed up even if she is justifying the
picture as a dedication to her dead father.
Ok so I don’t have a fancy dancy touch smart phone thing
that a lot of people in my generation have. And I know that not everyone loves
selfies most people I go to school with take selfies almost everywhere, in the
hallway, in the science room wearing aprons and goggles. Everywhere.
To me taking a selfie in front of a place where such a
serious thing took place while you’re smiling is incredibly disrespectful. I
mean people died there, families who never got see each other again because
some of them went to do labor work and others went to die in the gas chambers.
Such depressing topics right? There are families who could be offended by this,
those who had relatives who died in the Holocaust. I know that some people
these days didn’t even know that the Holocaust even took place (which is a
really shocking idea in my opinion).
Also Breanna says Auschwitz was her Dads favorite topic and
that they were really interested in the Holocaust. If that’s so then she should
understand that this place was a concentration camp where horrible things would
happen. To me such places should be places treated with respect in honor of
those who perished within its walls, and all those who died in the Holocaust.
It’s rather like the place where the Twin Towers once stood. You don’t see
people going to that place and taking selfies of themselves with duck faces of
smiling do you?
Truthfully I’m curious as to why she herself took the
picture smiling. I mean yea she said it was in memory of her father but why was
she smiling? It just bugs me.
That font is kinda confusing.
