My Auschwitz Vacation -- On Holocaust Tourism2024 Oct 4
The experience Harper's author Tanya Gold relates in this article is very different than my visit to Auschwitz in 2008. But then my experience was on a March of the Living trip sponsored by my local JCC, so perhaps that shielded me from the worst parts of Holocaust kitsch. But it doesn't surprise me to learn that this is happening. It's not dissimilar from the many other plights of people turned into tourism, such as Native Americans.
