Tourists turned Auschwitz's death tracks into a photo set

Video shows tourists staging a photo shoot on the railway tracks leading into Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi camp in occupied Poland where deportation trains once carried thousands to their deaths during World War Two. As Boing Boing tells it, the footage shows one woman posing and adjusting her hair on the tracks while two companions photograph her, changing postures for the shots. The tracks remain part of the site preserved today as a memorial to the more than one million people, most of them Jews, who were killed there.
