Speechless. A mixture of bewilderment and indignation has caused many people to see a photo taken by a woman herself in Auschwitz, on the world-famous “Road of Death”.

In that place, in Poland, which represents the horror of Nazi extermination, people arrive moved, in silence, with prayers. But one woman broke all opportunities to behave in Auschwitz, which earned her reproachful remarks.

Auschwitz “is the symbol of the Holocaust for European Jews” and the woman in the unusual photo appears to be completely ignorant of what that still means in human history.

The controversial photo in Auschwitz

“He’s just missing a daiquiri (drink) in his hand,” said one woman who received the viral image on her cell phone between sarcasm and criticism.

She said that “a friend who moved to Spain got the chance to go there and told us all that she cried, because the history is felt in the walls, in the stones, in the houses… I find it hard to believe what I see” said Zoraya Paz.

The image she rejects is that of a young woman who jumped and posed on the road to Auschwitz. Yes, he posed. She turned her head to the sky, as a companion caught her in her startling gesture.

The first to react to such an action was the one who took the photo of the dare. Then did the administrators of the former concentration camp where more than a million people were murdered by the Nazis. The person, Infobae said, asked visitors to respect his memory.

The viral photo was taken by Maria Murphy, a producer for GB News.

Today I had one of the most moving experiences of my life. Unfortunately, not everyone seems to experience it equally intensely, Murphy wrote on Twitter on April 15.

In the photo, a young woman, smiling and enjoying the sun on the tracks, stands in front of the Auschwitz concentration camp, today a site dedicated to the memory of the atrocities committed during World War II, according to the New York Post.

“Shocking. Do they really know where they are,” one user said on Twitter.

“Every adult in the world knows exactly what that track and those doors are. Especially one that pays to visit,” wrote another.

The journalist told the astonished followers: “Total detachment from reality. That’s the only explanation,” adding: “The tour had already lasted 1 or 2 hours. There was no way to plead ignorance.”

The March of the Living and Papal Visits

The image was well known during the preparations for the so-called March of the Living, which was organized for years in tribute to the victims of the Holocaust. It is looking back on Auschwitz.

“It is important to tell and say that war and hatred towards others poison everything,” 93-year-old Halina Birenbaum told AFP.

On April 18, a group of people arrived at the iconic and painful space and, as EFE described it, placed “small signs along the tracks of the ‘Road of Death’ from the former German Nazi camp Auschwitz I to Auschwitz II-Birkenau in Oswiecim, Poland.

The march, which commemorates the victims of the Holocaust, has been held annually since 1988.

The last three popes – John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis – have visited this symbol of the Holocaust for European Jews.

The Argentine pope went to Auschwitz in July 2016, toured there for two hours and was able to hug survivors.

Vatican News wrote of the visit: “After the wooden and brick barracks of Auschwitz, the Pope wanted to make a stopover at the nearby concentration camp, scene of the “Final Solution”, the mass extermination that the Nazis systematically carried out through the gas chambers. In those 173 acres, millions of Jews and foreign prisoners died, poisoned by Zyklon B.

In the Book of Honor, Francis wrote for posterity: “Lord, have mercy on your people. Lord, forgive me for such cruelty.”
