He writes that the Polish officials in charge seek to educate a younger generation about the Holocaust via “one of the most popular tools on the internet.” Though still in experimental stages, the officials hope that the page will provide a forum for discussion without “abusing” the memory of the victims. One has to wonder about the appropriateness and ramifications of becoming a “fan” of the Auschwitz page.
