a special game which between holland and germany last time these two met in amsterdam back in october the hosts celebrated a three no victory germany's youngsters have a chance to take swift revenge which. the museum in poland receives over a million visitors every year with many documenting their time there by taking photographs and videos of the former nazi death camp but it appears that a significant number have been in poor taste which is led the museum to issue a request for visitors to behave more respectfully joining me now in the studio to tell us more about this is. fully ilias problem my first thought in hearing this is an institution that for good so prominently in the whole of cost has people behaving disrespectfully it's just hard to believe it is really hard to believe on the one hundred days and then of i have to say personally it doesn't shock me in some ways because of the incidents that i've seen a concentration camps actually here in germany but you know we'll get to that

perhaps a little bit later on that the reason why this was issued by museum was because they came across like you said before a significant number of photographs that were just in terrible poor taste people posing smiling were actually just seeing some of them and standing on train tracks which let's not forget we these were the train tracks which carried trains which carried people essentially to their deaths where they were murdered. you know one point one million people were murdered at that concentration camp and one point three million people actually were passed through. between one nine hundred forty nine hundred forty five now the nazis began gassing people there in one thousand nine hundred forty one and you know it wasn't over ninety percent of those who were killed were jewish but it was also you know there were other people as well who were murdered there non jewish joel jew sorry non jewish poles roma prisoners of war jehovah's witnesses homosexual men i mean you know this is an absolutely

dreadful place to think that people are taking photographs in such poor taste is incredibly alarming and shocking we're seeing a handful of photographs there but i imagine that it was more than just a few bad apples that would cause museum directors to say listen this is got to stop you're absolutely right i mean this is something that funnily enough i actually remember something from a few years ago that this came up again that there were photographs taken in auschwitz and other concentration camps like i mentioned before that were just in awful taste and in fact at the auschwitz museum released a tweet and they said that remember that you're at the site where over one million . people were killed respect their memory there are better places to learn how to walk or on a balance beam than the site which symbolizes the differentiation of hundreds of thousands to their deaths so there was you know you can almost you can see the anger even tweet but i think the best is actually if we hear from a representative from the museum because he actually sent the w as

a response to add to all this issue that they feel was so important there are also incidents when people behave inappropriately. and it doesn't matter whether it's something people think about or this is something because people are not aware of being disrespectful and we need to respond we need to react to this is why. part of our mission to protect the dignity of the victims protect the memory it's extraordinary that they would have to actually come out with a statement about this and do something to help people to behave respectfully i'm curious you say that you've seen this in the past yourself i have seen it here in berlin not so far away is of course the there's a memorial near the brandenburg gate and i've often seen people you know posing there now it's not the same as going to a concentration camp but i've also seen it in concentration camps here in germany people taking photographs mining laughing the kind of photographs you see people taking up the beach incredible thank you for bringing this around tension. if
