The respect goes unsaid. It doesn't mean that you can't make fun of it though. You need to stop getting offended by it... what good does that do?
Maybe for you and I it does, but for many it doesn't. In the school I went to most had no idea about the Holocaust except that it was bad for some odd reason. This story only desensitizes the subject (but so does watching the same documentary over and over every year, but that's not the subject here), and make it seem not very serious. And why the hell would you want to make fun of 12million who died in some of the most horrible ways imaginable? Furnace commandos burning their own families the first day they went to work (and usually everyone they ever knew since they were shipped as entire villages, and cities together), the most horrid medical "experiments" imaginable, SS officers deciding life and death on the day they arrived in the camps thanks to their pretty uniform with a death skull on their cap, people being burned alive in their huts so that the advancing Allies wouldn't liberate the prisoners alive, people so skinny and malnourished that they died after they were fed the smallest amount of food due to over eating! MAKE FUN OF?!?! WHAT IS THERE TO MAKE FUN OF?!? Unless you find piles of dead innocent people funny?! I need to stop getting offended?!? Oh excuse me for respecting the millions who were killed, plus some of my family, and people I've known who have lived through that hell. What good does fingering a girl in the holocaust do and then laughing about it likes it's so damn funny because they were "being bad"?! That's not being "bad" or "naughty", it's being disrespectful, plain and simple. I'm sure you and everyone here who supports the original posters actions would get along quite well with the Nazis, as I'm sure if they're reading this, they would be laughing their asses off.
who cares? I don't think anyone was making fun of them. uh-oh. so the kid felt up his girl's foxbox in the Holocaust museum, thus not showing the proper reverence that you would no doubt act out. what makes you feel so compelled to start frothing at the mouth?
Hmm, I must say, I don't find anything amusing about it either. Even if you could care less about what they did, why would you find it funny? I really don't understand that. I am glad some of you are able to not take everything seriously, and I usually am the same way, but not when it comes to past tragic events. I would not get sexual pleasure out of being in a place like that, nor would I get sexual pleasure out of thinking of the abuse of the African-Americans, Native Americans, or anyone else, but I guess that's just me.
c'mon, what did all those jews die for if not for our amusement!! were those millions of lives lost in vain? i should hope not! sex in the holocaust museum for everyone!
This sounds very insensitive. I doubt those who died in the Holocaust would want their ancestors and everyone else constantly sobbing over it, but they wouldn't want people masturbating over it either. If anyone needs psychological help, it's those who find pleasure out of pain.
It's not like they were getting turned on by the fact that they were in the holocust museum. They just did something really taboo, which is amusing. Truly not a big deal.
I care, and sadly, I am one of only two who seem to actually give a shit, which makes me really wonder where the hippie "movement" is actually going. I'm sure this incident would really set off the proper tone for "free love" and all that other bullshit. I was replying to Rubin's comment which said "It doesn't mean that you can't make fun of it though." I don't think they were making fun of them either though, they said they wanted to feel "naughty", which is fine, I just don't think it's in the best taste to do that in the holocaust museum. I didn't realize taking life seriously, and actually having respect for the dead was a Psychological issue? Maybe with your expertise in the field, you could explain to me how that's a "issue"? I would say being a person who supports the humiliation and desensitation of the Holocaust has some Psychological issues.
The point is, they weren't doing it to humiliate or desensitize anything. They're just kids, give it a rest.
making love in a holocaust museum is actually the best thing i ever heard. that is a great idea and i think the best way to get over the problem. i´m german and i can tell that most of the germans, especially the older generation is still traumatized. they feel so bad and they are so seriuos about it, that it´s difficult to finish this horrible chapter. we shouldn´t feel too sensitive about it anymore. we should set a sign and get over it. free love, global love, tolerance that is what we need!!! i love to have sex anywhere.
Some of us will find this utterly disturbing, others not so much. That's the world we live in. A message to those that do. All we can hope is that someday people who take these things so insensitively will have their harsh awakening from reality of how degrading to the human population they are. He posted because he wanted a reaction. You gave him one.
I don't care much for the Holocaust Museum. Not to say I don't like Jews, I spend enough time around them, just I don't care for museums in the first place...cept Art Museums...in Europe.....aside from that Museums bore me, and I'm a Poli Sci Major lol. So yeah, no biggy.
