All of this. Obviously it's inappropriate but it's not a case of it being either OK or all young people are a bunch of kunts and so is everyone who isn't outraged - where is the middle ground? People losing their shiit over this are overreacting massively. Plus she looks really young, I feel a bit sorry for her, I know we all did something daft when we were younger.

What is wrong with visiting Auschwitz anyway? I have always wanted to go (along with Elmina Castle) and I am going pretty soon. Not every holiday or 'vacation' has to be spent lying on a beach or getting pissed as a fart drinking cocktails lads.
