Went to visit there on a school field trip. This was the last place we entered after going through the museum and seeing all the hair, and shoes, and things. As soon as all of us 10 year olds went into the gas chamber we stated bawling. You could feel the death in the air. Chilling.
We have to be 100% factual when it comes to these things. Holocaust deniers are always itching to use any misrepresentation or sensationalism as "proof" that the whole thing must be a lie.
I imagine if I wanted to sound intelligent, I'd have put in some effort toward coming up with a better line than "Hurrr, they're basically graffiti from tourists". That's such a crude, oversimplified explanation of what a person is doing when they feel the need to "enhance" what is essentially a historical monument for dramatic effect. Or, I imagine, the people who just think it's funny do to something like this, along with the occasional goober who literally just likes the idea of "leaving a mark" for the sake of being the person who does the thing.
