The proprietors of the Auschwitz concentration camp have found themselves in hot water after installing showers in the former Nazi extermination camp in a bid to “cool down” visitors to the onetime slaughterhouse, which is now a museum commemorating the Holocaust.

Mist showers have reportedly been installed at the death camp’s entrance to help tourists battle the high summer temperatures in Poland, where Auschwitz is located.

However, for some Jewish visitors to the museum, the showers have evoked harsh memories of the execution of more than 1.1 million at the death camp, many of whom were murdered by being marched into showers filled with poison gas.

“Israel visitors to the museum could not ignore the connotation of showers being put in place at a site where more than a million Jews were murdered by the Nazis in gas chambers during the Holocaust,” Israel Hayom reported on Monday.

You know, sometimes the Jews who see absolutely everything as relating to the holocaust are just as bad as the blacks that see everything as racist.

I think it's in poor taste considering what happened there...a shower system over the main gate? Hard not to see a correlation..

Put it just off the premises, or before you go in. There must be a parking lot there, isn't there??

Yeah getting showered walking in must bring up some connective memories of what happened there.

Maybe just don't have a shower system on that property at all. You know there will be assholes taking pictures with funny captions.

They have mist showers at strategic points in the Jacksonville zoo. Those things rock, especially in the dead heat of the summer.
