[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 370414, member: 1963"] I wasn't offended by it, per se, but I found it to be unsettling. My "take" on it is different as most of my family on both sides died in the camps and I still have two surviving relatives who have the tattoos on their arms. I have a couple of US relatives who went back to try to get family members out of Russia and Lithuania and Poland, and wound up in the death camps themselves. To me, it is still a raw wound and even the traditional bitter humor of Jewry doesn't excuse it. That's my "take" on it and it is totally cultural. I've been to Dachau, to Auschwitz, and to Treblinka. I've done the tours, visited the museums and the death chambers ("showers") [/QUOTE]
