Skandaliczna historia... Jeszcze tego brakowało, byśmy się nawzajem skłócili... Bardzo smutne: Publicystka Pamela Geller oskarża Polaków o antysemityzm na podstawie incydentu z Muzeum w Auschwitz wiadomosci.onet.pl/kraj/publicystka-pamela-geller-oskarza-polakow-o-antysemityzm/7s2xe Oto angielskie oświadczenie biura prasowego Muzeum Auschwitz: The whole situation described was a problem of far too loud and inappropriate behaviour at the Memorial of the group. That become a problem for guides and other visitors who were on the site at that moment. Other visitors were disrupted even in such a sensitive place as the building of the crematorium at Auschwitz I. The group blocked it and did not let in any other visitors. Only after they security intervened, they reacted. When the group was asked to quiet down on the site of former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp, as they were not only singing very loud, but also running around the site, there was no response. Numerous requests of the security were left with no reaction. The leader of the group refused to give his name and produce documents. That is why the police was called. He was asked for documents. He told the police he had any. And the documents were found on him. The police gave him a ticket for disrupting public order and refusal to cooperate with the police. No one was arrested. All situation that had nothing to do with the songs that were sung and the origin of the group. There are many groups visiting the site and singing in the way that is respectful to other people who visit the Memorial. There are different ways of commemoration but none of them can disrupt other people visit. Such bad behaviour arouses many critical comments from other visitors. Yet, we should emphasise that great majority of visitors, including numerous groups coming from Israel, know very well what are right and appropriate ways of behaviour at the Memorial Site. The whole situation is recorded and has been analysed. The reaction of the Museum Security was correct in this particular situation. When the group was asked to unblock the crematorium in Auschwitz I, because other groups could not enter, the security informed them that they can stand outside the building, on the side that not many people use, and continue with their ceremony. The group did that. No one stopped them from singing there… Onother thing is singing inside the gas chamber and crematorium itself. At the entrance to the building, all visitors can read an inscription in Polish, English and Hebrew: You are in a building where the SS murdered thousands of people. Please maintain silence here: remember their suffering and show respect for their memory. Regards, Pawel Sawicki Auschwitz Memorial Press Office
