I'd really like to hear your guy's opinion on this.


Polish government officials claim that keeping the Auschwitz camps maintained and running is becoming too expensive and are seriously considering closing the buildings to let them decay into history. Some even want to demolish the buildings as soon as the last Holocaust survivor is deceased.

To this I say: No. Bad idea.

Why would you even consider that? What happened to all the "We Will Never Forget"s? And isn't demolishing the camps after the last survivor is dead even more disrespectful to the few million victims than doing it now?

These buildings have provided enlightenment and education, a brief but meaningful look into the past, painful but necessary reminders, and inspiration to thousands upon thousands of people.
If these structures are not right there to remind us to be careful, that we can't let mass murder happen again, will it? I'm fascinated with how inconceding people can be.
Don't let the 1918 Influenza or the St.Peter's Tornado happen again. Not funny.

We've been wishing to have so many lost ancient structures back, who's to say future generations won't want to experience such historical items and their meanings?
Absolutely no one.

I just thought people ought to know what's being planned (if they don't already).
Let's accomplish something before the WWII biological clock stops ticking, okay?
How? Hell. I don't know.




Again, I really want to hear as many honest opinions as possible on that.



Disclaimer:
I do NOT support any of the killing or forced labour at these camps, come on you guys, pull it together.


CREDIT IS DUE!!
A huge Thank you to these guys, all the photos belong to them:

This is exactly what will happen in the future.

-"Mommy?"
-"Yes, Bertha?"
-"What is Auschwitz?"
-"Oh, Auschwitz was some sort of camp in Poland that the Nazis used in world war II to kill lotsa people in."
-"Ooh. what was it like?"
-"Not sure, it was probably real gross and dirty and things. I dont know much, but you can probably dig up some thick old book up at the library, but no one wants to read about such a hands-on experience anyway, which is too bad, because there aren't any survivors of the place left to tell us all about it and it's not like you can go there anymore."
-"... Oh."

:lol: HAAAAH!!!! You even got the Bertha part right!! But really.
Coudn't've put it better myself. I can almost guarantee that's what will happen if these places are just left there after the survivors are gone.
It certainly is not funny.
Poor kid.

Thanks!

I think I might just stab somebody now.
WTF?!
To let something so vile fade into fable is one of the WORST ideas I have ever heard, AND THAT'S INCLUDING ELECTING GEORGE W. BUSH FOR THE SECOND TERM!!

EXACTLY!
If they take that monument away, even though it is a monument of a horrible thing, the event will be forgotten.
And when things become forgotten, THEY HAPPEN AGAIN.
We do NOT want another genocide!

They really, REALLY can't do that. Someday in the future, Holocaust deniers would use the nonexistence of the camp as "proof" that the Holocaust never happened. And people would forget about it, and history would repeat itself, and...ugh. It just disgusts me.

I really hate the Polish government right now. I REALLY do. >:I

GAH, and I didn't even THINK about future Holocaust deniers! That only makes the idea fifty million times worse. History always repeats itself. : |

They'd better not do it. It's just a bad idea all around. :(
