shakes may add her to his list...

Quote:
An Alabama teen is being criticized for posting on Twitter a selfie taken at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp, according to the Washington Post. The photo, seen above, was posted to Twitter on June 20 by Breanna Mitchell and shows the teenager smiling. It was accompanied by the caption, 'selfie in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp,' and a smiley emoji. The image sparked massive Internet backlash with some going so far as to threaten Mitchell's life.

In the wake of the uproar, Mitchell has spoken out about the controversial photo, saying that she has no regrets and wouldn't do anything differently.

Mitchell, a recent high school graduate, traveled to Europe in June and visited the camp in Germany on the last day of her trip, the Washington Post reported.

Over the ensuing month, the tweet has amassed more than 4,000 retweets and 2,600 favorites, according to the New York Post. In response to the media attention after her initial tweet, Mitchell tweeted, 'Over 150 retweets. Turnnnnnn uppppppp' and 'I'm famous y'all.'

I was there last October. Could not imagine taking a selfie with how you feel while being there. Caller Bob in training.

The tour guides even tell you to be respectful and not to pose for pictures there. Though this moron doesn't surprise me. I saw similar things on our tour.

I don't think she gets it. Social media and iphones are turning most people into idiots if they aren't already. When we went to Pearl Harbor there was a group of tourists, I felt, were not displaying the proper amount of respect. I do hate that she is sticking by her guns here saying what she did was fine but that might be part of her generation. Everything they do is "fine".

redskingreg, if you ever want to share your experience, I'd love to hear it. I don't think I could go, I started bawling at the New England Holocaust Memorial .

I've been to Dachau. Tons of douchebag teens taking smiling photos at the gates. Made me sick.

Also made me sick that people live literally right next to the camp. How could you live with that in your back yard?

The tour was gut wrenching and the lack of understanding of the youths made it worse. However, it was definitely a moving experience and something everyone should do if they can, IMO.

Went to Buchewald camp a couple years back. One of the most humbling experiences of my life. Cannot imagine a selfie there. People have no respect for anything any more

She's 18 (even though she looks 30) so this really shouldn't be a big deal. She isn't the first 18 year old to do something stupid and act as if nothing was wrong with it.

But when she turns 30, 40, or 50 I don't have the confidence that she will realize the 18 year old was wrong.

From what I read she seems like a smart kid that's really into history. She'll figure it out. Even if she does believe the selfie was a tribute to her father.

This would maybe be true if her father was Hitler. That would make sense. Hitler was evil but, to my knowledge, was not a hayseed.

Otherwise, she is a moron who is dishonoring the thousands of innocents who were subjected to incomprehensible horrors in that camp. What a fool.

I think she was listening to "Fancy" while taking the pic. Seriously if there is one image of "this generation" that is absolutely loathsome, it's the one earbud dangling from the ear.

Probably not the best idea, but not this newsworthy. Who cares? How does this affect anyone else? Live and let live.

Yeah, I just think she's an idiot. It's not really a killin' offense.

Peter: My God, what is this?!
Brian: This must be the McBurgertown slaughterhouse.
Cow: Sir, you are correct. But in here, we call it "DaCow."
Peter: "DaCow?"
Cow: "DaCow." Except we spell the "chau" part "C-O-W," like "cow." So it's kind of, uh...eh, sort of a dark joke.

:lol: If you want to make it true you need a decimal. 10.85% of all pictures were taken in the last 7 years. Now it's true.

Yep she is a hayseed southern hick, because no one from up north would ever do anything stupid like this. Got to love painting with that ever so broad brush.

He'd walk around doing his Gilbert Gottfried impersonation.

I did stupid things at 18. Luckily the internet was still just for AIM and porn.

Punishment should fit the crime. Let a bunch of old Jews take selfies in her house as her parents starve and beat her.
