Out of all the places in the world you should not be having a naked game of tag in, I’m pretty sure that the Nazi gas chambers is pretty near the top of the list.

This wasn’t just a bunch of people that went over to the Stutthoff gas chambers in order to find a good environment for a naked game of tag though, it was instead the brainchild of an artist called Arthur Zmijewski. The installation appeared in a Polish museum as part of an exhibition entitled ‘Poland. Israel. Germany. The experience of Auschwitz’ and it was funded by the Israeli embassy in Poland, although the claim to have no knowledge about the film or how it was allowed to be authorised. Great bureaucracy there guys.

Unfortunately I can’t find a clip of the film and only these pictures, but even so I’m not sure you really need to see the full thing to try and understand just how offensive and ridiculous it was that Zmijewski even thought that he could get away with this.

Maybe people just don’t realise the significance of what went down there, but it seems kinda unbelievable considering it’s pretty well documented and there’s no other word for it but horrific. Even when I visited Auschwitz about ten years ago I didn’t even want to speak for most of the tour I was so shook up about it. Normally I’m a pretty light hearted asshole but there’s some things that you just can’t mess with and that is one of them. Can’t really get over how these guys thought it was OK to take off all their clothes and run around nude in them? Really something else.

It’s also kind of ridiculous that the Krakow Museum removed the installation back in 2015 but then later reinstated it, claiming that the artist had the right to freedom of expression. I guess that’s true but I mean it’s still kinda completely uncool? Jewish authorities are now investigating whether a serious breach took place as there’s usually strict rules about using the site and this definitely should not have been allowed.
