>Yolocaust is a project by Israeli satirist and author Shahak Shapira that explores our commemorative culture by combining selfies from the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin with footage from Nazi extermination camps. The selfies were found on Facebook, Instagram, Tinder and Grinder. Comments, hashtags and "Likes" that were posted with the selfies are also included.
>About 10,000 people visit the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe every day. Many of them take goofy pictures, jump, skate or bike on the 2,711 concrete slabs of the 19,000 m2 large structure.
>The exact meaning and role of the Holocaust Memorial are controversial. To many, the grey stelae symbolize gravestones for the 6 Million Jews that were murdered and buried in mass graves, or the grey ash to which they were burned to in the death camps.
>FAQ
>"So what am I allowed to do at the Holocaust Memorial, and what not?"
No historical event compares to the Holocaust. It's up to you how to behave at a memorial site that marks the death of 6 million people.
>"Isn't this disrespectful towards the victims of the Holocaust?"
Yes, some people's behaviour at the memorial site is indeed disrespectful. But the victims are dead, so they're probably busy doing dead people's stuff rather than caring about that.
>"I'm on one of the pictures and suddenly regret having uploaded it to the internet. Can you remove it?"
Yes. Just send an email to undouche.me@yolocaust.de
Are you embarassed by your disrespectful photo, Sup Forums? Too late, once a douche, forever a douche.
