Either way I don't think what some teenager posts on her facebook is worthy of all that much attention.
It's a historical place. People go to Mount Rushmore and the Grand Canyon and go, "Oh wow, what a noteworthy moment to want to record for posterity, why don't I take a frakking picture?" all the time. So why not Auschwitz?
