Auschwitz museum visitors have slammed ice creams being sold outside the former concentration camp’s Death Gate.
A van was parked up yards away with an “Ice Love” logo.
It is estimated that 1.1 million Jewish people and other ethnic groups were killed at the Nazi camp, near Krakow, Poland during WW2.
Museum visitors were quick to criticise the location of the van.
Ian Bremmer said: “Maybe Auschwitz isn’t the best spot for an ice cream stand.”
Another visitor fumed: “The last thing I’d want after visiting Auschwitz is to be marketed to with an ice cream.
”An ice cream after the horror,” said Franci.
Visitor, Jalananil said: “Sad, some people are losing sense.”
However, one person saw no problem with the business’ location.
They said: “What’s wrong with an ice cream stand at Auschwitz?
”It’s summer and it’s hot, why can’t people have ice creams?”
A spokesman for the Auschwitz Museum said there is nothing it can do about it as it is on private land.
They said: “This is an example of not only aesthetic tastelessness, but also a lack of respect for a special historical place located nearby.
”However, this trailer is located outside the protection zone of the Monument to the Holocaust, so unfortunately we have no influence on it.”
The spokesperson told the Gazeta Krakowska newspaper: ”We trust that the competent local government authorities will solve this embarrassing problem.”
