TripAdvisor apologizes for tasteless review of Auschwitz

TripAdvisor has apologized for a review of the Auschwitz Museum in Poland by a user who joked about bringing a baby to the gas chamber of the Nazi concentration camp and called the site “fun for the family.”

The travel website initially said the tasteless entry complied with its submission guidelines — but later backtracked, removed the review and banned the author. The museum on Thursday tweeted that it had asked Massachusetts-based TripAdvisor to take down the offensive review, in which the writer said they went to Auschwitz to “test the chamber” and called the site “fun for the family.”
