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

    The Polish Govt has already proven that it can and will give Germany the middle finger.

    The guy was an idiot and old enough to know better, but its not an international incident.

    The fact that he'd even touch a historical monument is mind blowing let alone engrave his name into it. The mind boggles at how imiture he is. I've been to new Grange. You aren't allowed to even touch the walls.

    Just in closing serious points made in this thread.

    Everybody thinks this guy is a total moron who deserves what he gets.
    Nobody on the thread has expressed the least bit of sympathy for him.

    If he has a job there is a good chance he will not have it for much longer.
    I am sure none of the people here cracking jokes would try and defend this knob in any way.

    I might make jokes about death but I show the greatest respect in a cemetery.

    You'll probably find most Poles think the Holocaust was a fake news story now. They seem to have become quite authoritarian right wing recently.

    Don't know where your getting that idea from,they definitely don't think it as a fake news story , but they definitely don't like them been regarded as polish consintrain camps.
    German or natzi camps is acceptable.
    There was a falling out between polish government members and Israel government , when Israel government member called them polish consintrain camps .
    That is where a distancing started towards them

    If i was Polish id be pissed off if they were called 'Polish Concentration Camps'. Bit hard to believe really when your country and cities have been wiped out by German and Russian forces.

    Right. 5 million Poles died in the war and the Nazis believed they were inferior too. As they did with the Russians.

    I'm not sure about selling it to a Prince but I do agree it does seem fake. It seems to have been made into a salstis in the 1960s rather than 5000 years before

    Where on this thread indicates that those pesky Irish people can dish it out but can't take it?

    What this muppet was thinking scraping his name on a wall in such a place. There are an awful lot of dribbling morons about mind you.

    Well it is kinda fake W. It almost certainly didn't look like that originally. The main white wall at the front had to be held together with concrete(not around in the neolithic) because it wasn't self supporting. The entrance is dubious too and more for getting tourists in and out. The whole thing was excavated down to the ground and rebuilt around a concrete frame. It's more funfair than archaeology.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    That is a bit self indulgent of you. You are using it for your own reasons.

    I suspect many of those who have written silly puns may well give more of a damn than you do but don't worry if others know.

    The front quartzite wall.

    It was fair to assume it faced the wall though. Replicated in other similar sites.

    Ok, I thought it was the inner prison wall where prisoners were regularly shot. I remember seeing several uniformed Israeli soldiers yelling and making the V sign in this area. I thought at the time it was incredibly disrespectful as most of those that perished in Auschwitz were not Jewish. Birkenkau was where the Jews suffered the most.
