The Auschwitz museum urges visitors to the site of the infamous Nazi concentration camp to show more respect, singling out tourists who photograph themselves walking along tracks used to transport prisoners to their deaths during WWII.
The Auschwitz memorial and museum has been forced to issue a reminder to visitors to not use the train tracks at the site of the Nazi concentration camp as a"balance beam".Trains were used to transport prisoners to Nazi concentration camps during World War IIDuring World War II, trains were often used to transport prisoners to the Polish camp, which has since been turned into a museum and memorial that hosts millions of visitors each year.
But not everyone visiting Auschwitz, where 1.1 million people were killed by Nazis, has been behaving appropriately. The museum tweeted a series of photographs of people balancing on the rails of the train tracks that lead to the gatehouse — colloquially known as the Gate of Death.
