The casual exploitation of Auschwitz imagery for a WWE @WrestleMania video insults the victims and the memorial. This reminds us of our urgent need for awareness and education of history and the Holocaust. @AuschwitzMuseum https://t.co/x8KAbSjQdr

On WWE using a picture of Auschwitz for a promo–very low grade and poor selection. Idk who thought this was ok, but let’s just forgive and move on❣️❣️❣️Shame on Triple H

WWE should apologise to the martyrs of Auschwitz. It’s not a mere mistake, it’s a crime.
