Auschwitz museum criticizes ‚tasteless‘ ice cream stand near iconic ‚Death Gate‘ – Stall with pink logo placed 200 meters from the landmark structure in the notorious camp where the Nazis murdered 1.1 million Jews | Timesofisrael

Commemoration professionals in Poland have criticized the opening of an ice cream stand just outside the museum on the grounds of the Auschwitz-Birkenau former death camp.
The stand – its walls emblazoned with a drawing of an ice cream cone and a pink-colored logo reading “icelove” as well as the words “waffles” and “ice creams” – opened this month about 200 meters away from — and in plain view of — the iconic, red-brick Auschwitz II Historical Gate, also known in Poland as the “Death Gate,” with its double train tracks and overhead watch post.
