Hello all,

I'm visiting Poland and have been to the rynek several times now. Each time i was there, while walking around drinking/eating, I heard people make negative comments on a display where a character throws another character into an oven. The most common comment (joke) was "look here, it's a niemieckie swieta (german holidays)."

Here it is. Please turn down the volume before playing it due to annoying interference:

death camps are really tragic and memorable part of last century (for poles) so such connections are obvious

Anyone in wroclaw noticed this?

that is one of half a dozen displays with scenes from children's stories.

i saw it last year and didn't notice any concern.

however, i was more interested in the company i was keeping, rather than earwigging

I think its a depiction of the Hansel and Gretel fairytale.

Yeah, I'd agree.

Some folk just like to make sick connections (I do it myself occasionally).
