Recently, a sexyly dressed German woman posed for a photo in front of the "Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe", a move that caused outrage and received many criticisms.
According to the released video, the woman was wearing a black sports bra and tight pants that day, accompanied by a photographer. She was posing on a monument to the "Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe," with photographers taking pictures of her. People passed by from time to time, but the woman remained unmoved, and a passerby said he was too frightened to speak.
The "Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe" is located on the site of the Nazi Propaganda Department in Berlin, Germany, which was once the center of power in Nazi Germany and is now the political center of Germany. It was built to commemorate the massacre of more than six million Jews in Europe during nazi rule in Germany, and was designed by Peter Eisenmann and Bro Hauptda.
The monument covers an area of 19,000 square meters and houses 2,711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern on a slope. Each concrete slab is 2.38 meters long and 0.95 meters wide, with heights ranging from 0.2 meters to 4.8 meters.
In Berlin, the monument is described as" "a place of contemplation, a place of remembrance and warning." ”
The video of the woman taking the photo was posted on social media platforms, sparking widespread discussion. So far, many netizens have spoken out about this matter.
Some people were angry and harshly criticized.
One person said, "I was so frightened that I couldn't speak." ”
Another wrote: "I would interrupt them and tell them to leave. ”
Others said: "Sorry, this is unacceptable, she must be punished for it." ”
However, there are also some who defend the woman who took the picture.
One person commented: "She was just taking a picture. ”
Many have also pointed out that the designers of this monument have said that within a reasonable range, people can use the monument as much as they want.
In 2017, Eisenmann said, "People have been jumping around on these monuments." They've been sunbathing and having lunch there, which I think is good. It's like a Catholic church, it's a meeting place where kids run around and they sell trinkets. Remembrance is something that happens every day, it's not a holy place. ”
Eisenmann believes that the monument he designed is not like some other cemetery where people are actually buried, and there are no dead people under the "Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe". So people can commemorate in that place in their own way.
For now, though, it doesn't seem to have stopped most people from criticizing the woman.
As another netizen put it: "The woman wearing sexy clothes took art photos there, which is a sign of disrespect and does not use it within a reasonable range." ”
