    If he thought it was ok to scratch his name onto the wall because it was covered with other names, wait till he reads about their choice in tattoos.

    What he done wasn't a personal insult to me so no I am not offended. There is a difference between pointing out how disrespectful his actions have been than letting it offend me.

    I anticipate it will offend many though and hopefully the punishment will fit the crime.

    I certainly amn't offended by silly pun jokes about the Holocaust by little boys on there lap top! Just find it childish, cheap and humourless!

    I think you need to acknowledge what the word offence means!

    Also lacks class.

    The guy is a grade A tit for vandalising Auschwitz and derserves what he gets but the outrage at the posts on page one is a bit much.

    I didn't realise it was an all or nothing affair. Jokes on a forum does not equal support for what he did.

    How do you mean? Such actions inside the camps are taken very seriously by the authorities. It won't be a slap on the wrist he gets.

    You said "nor do I give a cr*p if eegits want to make jokes".

    Clearly you do give a crap.

    I don't think any subject is beyond humour. Especially in AH.

    I laughed out loud at Post #2. Should I get therapy?

    Auschwitz is in Poland. Hard to see how the German authorities can do anything.

    This has got nothing to do with gender and everything to do with upbringing. It's the type of behaviour I would expect from the underclass.

    I spent five years in Trinity. Check out the graffiti in the Arts Block toilets and come back to me.

    I don't................. read and analyse my post before you speak. Stop reading into what you want for me to be saying!

    As I said I don't care if these eegits want to make such jokes, but that doesn't halt me from having an opinion about the "jokes" themselves.

    It isn't that confusing!

    Ah let's not get ahead of ourselves, they weren't that original or funny. I am not offended nor do I give a cr*p if eegits want to make jokes out of a pretty serious historical event but sure whatever keeps you amused.

    I think you have to visit one of these camps to acknowledge how horribly disrespectful someone doing this is.

    You're correct - they should as they built the concentration camps.

    Yer man who left his name above is probably in the good company of other similar eejits there.
    Doesn't excuse his behaviour either way ...

    They take it very serious when being contrite and saying it was a great evil, which it obviously was.

    They weren't/aren't so contrite when it came to writing cheques or making right in a small way the great wrongs to those who suffered so greatly and died by their millions.

    A bit if that would be worth a lot more than the self-flagellation we see, which has become a fetish and self indulgent.

    Think a month in jail and 5000 euro fine would be apt for this man.

    Irish people can dish it out but can't take it.

    If some tourist scrawled the wall where the 1916 leaders were shot or Newgrange the outrage would go through the roof.

    As far as I know Germany has paid and still pays survivors and Israel.

    No one hear says otherwise. I suspect most would think he should have his face banged off his signature but would settle for jail or a big fine.

    The outrage in Poland over the GPO being vandalised would understandably be smaller than here but it would not mean they like seeing monuments defaced. Same applies.

    I had to look up what that meant. I thought maybe the people kept in the camp had scratched their names on the wall. It turns out though that writing your name there is a popular tourist activity. I did a Google search and found a few blogs by people talking about how shocked they were to see graffiti all over a wall.

    Some people are fucking weird. It kind of reminds me of the gobshites that write their names on Jim Morrisons grave because they're such massive 'fans'.

    It sounds to me like, these people that visited and engraved their names there, had not watched a film or documentary on the place, and how people died, for all of those that did this in such a place, they should be ashamed of themselves, it is terrible that this is happening,
