I’ve visited Auschwitz and there is no way I’d want a tacky tree ornament to remind me of the horrors that went on there

This is yet another incidence of the downside of the Internet.
There has always been, and will always be, a section of society who gravitate towards the darker and more tragic aspects of humanity, and whereas years ago, such individuals would exist only in the shadowy hinterland unknown and unsought by the majority of people, the arrival of the Internet gives such individuals access to the world at the click of a button.
We need to simply accept that like a lot of major positives in the development of our world, the Internet has its downside, and this is just one more example of that, and not allow it to intrude into the world the majority of us live in, which has no place for such perverse and inappropriate behaviour.

People will visit sites such as Auschwitz for many reasons, but usually to educate themselves as did a Head of R.E. colleague of mine. She was able then to pass-on the knowledge she had gained.
In the early 1950s, Mr J2 did his National Service in Germany and he, along with almost all the other servicemen, visited Buchenwald. He has never forgotten it, the mounds of earth, which thinly covered 1,000s of bodies were still there.
In France we lived not far from Oradure-sur-Glane, where the whole village was slaughtered and then fired. We took various family members to impress on them the realities of what had happened. After 3 or 4 visits I simply couldn't bear to go again. We often met German families taking their children round for the same reason. The physical reality is far different from reading in a book or seeing a film.
