Yeah I mean why do a yoga pose? Why smile? Why juggle? You're standing on the graves of hundreds of unmarked people. Give them respect.

It's not exactly graves, it's a memorial. I've been there and it felt so weird and depressing, I got all quiet. And still there's lots and lots of people everday who don't show any respect. Ugh.

Yeah I never got why people take "happy" pictures in these places. It is like where the twin towers were too. Imo, ok take a picture, but be respectful. They probably wouldn't like someone doing a yoga pose in their family member"s grave. But that's me

I visited New York city in 2004. We went to ground zero and it was still a giant hole in the ground. NY is the loudest place on the planet, but for some reason ground zero was dead silent. Nobody talking, taking pictures, you couldnt even hear the city around you. It was spooky/sad.

True. I have been, and have taken pictures of it. But when I see pics of tourists smiling in the ground zero pics I face palm (when I really feel like I want to punch them )

How terrible does one have to be to laugh, take selfies, and jump up on the memorial of millions of victims? I mean you don't have to be all depressed and crying, but at the same time you shouldn't be making fun of dead people

Why tf do people think this is ok. No one except the survivors of the concentration camps will even come close to what it would be like. Doing yoga shit, laughing, smiling, making jokes about 'jumping on dead jews'... makes me fucking sick to my stomach. Over six million individuals with their own lives, hopes, dreams, and pasts died brutally, often slowly, hearts filled with terror. I hope these people will think about what they're doing. Look up the gas chambers of Auschwitz. The nail marks all over the walls. Young children, toddlers, were scratching, desperately trying to escape the burning gas. Many girls were raped by guards and left for dead in the elements. Little girls, ages 6-20. Try to imagine your sister, niece, daughter, granddaughter being held down and raped by a SS officer, laughing in her face. I have a 10 year old sister and after reading 'Night' by Elie Wiezel I sat and wept for a good half hour. And to think we only know a FRACTION of the pain they went through.

I think they should have fines for those standing on the gravestones and actual structures that are in he memorial ground

(I've never been there) If there isn't already some place you can stand higher up to see the sheer size of the memorial I can see why someone might stand on one, but otherwise I think you should never stand on a memorial

The juggler and the selfie aren't necessarily being disrespectful.
