So called because of jacking off vs. jilling off.

No one finds it weird that Vanilla is "jilling" to a pic of a dude in front of Aushwitz now? What the heck is the world coming to? lololol

No one really knows what she is thinking of at that moment, so she really shouldn't be called an "idiot." It could be anything she feeling at the time. The only evidence it what she said that both her and her father were suppose to go to Auschwitz. But unfortunately he passed away. Maybe the visit cause her to think of her father and recall that painful time in her life. For all we know she could be thinking "I made it dad." She's looks stressed because her forehead is wrinkled from tension, what I see is a picture of mixed emotions. It could be at the time of the selfie a bittersweet moment for her to fulfill for the both of them alone what they once planned together.

Still. You've gotta think before you post sometimes. I'm almost surprised she didn't write "#summercamp" because I'm pretty sure anyone with half a heart would be crying it out at those gates.

Some people are more emotional than others. It takes time for emotions to build up and be released through crying. Why don't people have a cry out at the evening news but cry at the end of a movie? Because I think more time is needed to personally identify with the person to empathize for that person and have it emotionally affect the person witnessing it (even though it is a movie or a historical site). So I think what you said is more true leaving the place then just entering it.

Maybe I am wrong and you are right, but still I see her more of a "normal" girl making a faux pas than an intensive "idiot" who is the poster-child of her generation.

As someone who would probably take a picture of herself in a noose here, as a part-hebrew part-polish part-german who's great grandfather was an Auschwitz prisoner, I applaud this girl.

Party people say HEEEEIIILLLLL!

Just because she expresses her emotions differently than you do. She has no heart?

Eh, I'm with LiLs on this one. It's a little weird and insensitive to be taking selfies that look like they could have Disney World in the background at a place of extreme human suffering and some of the worst atrocities to disgrace the human race. Why would you want to visit such a horrible anyways? Eek, pass.

You probably don't know the back story but she was supposed to visit the place with a family member of hers that passed away.

There are stories of other survivors that have gone and smiled while taking pictures maybe as a big fuck you like I made it out alive. You can't just push your personal feelings about the place onto other people. They have their own reason for doing things.
