An ice cream stand set up outside Auschwitz has been described as 'tasteless' and 'disrespectful' by managers of the historic site
"This is an example of not only aesthetic tastelessness, but also a lack of respect for a special historical place located nearby," Bartosz Bartyzel from the museum, said in a statement.
"We trust that the competent local government authorities will solve this embarrassing problem," he added. Dagmar Kopijasz, of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial Site Foundation, said nearby residents were also"upset" and believe it"looks awful". Images of the ice cream stall have been circulating on social media this week, with people condemning the"inappropriate" location.More than a million people are estimated to have died at the Nazi death camp in less than five years during the Second World War.Last month site managers tweeted to remind people to"respect the memory" of the people who died there after a picture of a woman posing on the train tracks went viral.
