Wer mit Ungeheuern kämpft, mag zusehn, dass er nicht dabei zum Ungeheuer wird. Und wenn du lange in einen Abgrund blickst, blickt der Abgrund auch in dich hinein.

(short summary in English, taken from that website: “ Yolocaust is a project by Israeli satirist and author Shahak Shapira that explores our commemorative culture by combining selfies from the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin with footage from Nazi extermination camps. The selfies were found on Facebook, Instagram, Tinder and Grinder. Comments, hashtags and “Likes” that were posted with the selfies are also included. About 10,000 people visit the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe every day. Many of them take goofy pictures, jump, skate or bike on the 2,711 concrete slabs of the 19,000 m² large structure.“)

I don’t get how those people can take selfies like that in a place like that. I was there once and I hardly dared to breathe. 

And to add OP’s warning: if you’re a sensitive person you might think twice about clicking that link, cause the pics may be hard to stomach for some.
