Yep, the dancing is pretty shit, but I loved the conga line stuff and I'm sat here with a smile on my face thinking good on them. Lully!

Nicked off youtube...

I believe every person who died in one of the concentration camps would love the thought of a survivor coming back with their grandchildren to dance.

This is a normal post Yes, there's been quite a bit about this in the MSM
it's mixed between 'this is an outrage!' and 'good on 'em!' - to the extent that Neatorama blogged about Groucho Marx going to Berlin to dance on the remains of the bunker where Hitler hid.

I have danced at Auschwitz

This is a normal post best comments about this from the website where i first saw it
"Yes, the music is cheesy and the dancing is terrible, and the whole thing looks like a home movie. I believe that's the point -- celebrating the victory of life, in all its sloppy, goofy glory, over mechanized, industrialized murder.

The video is offensive -- it's offensive to the sense of awed horror and soul-crushing brutality that the Nazis sought to create with these death factories, which, oddly, the preservation of these camps also preserves. Why not piss in the face of that?

Watching this, I kept thinking, if the spirits of the dead Nazis who planned, built, and ran these camps were still around and observing Earthly events, what would be more dismaying to them -- the fact that their obscenities were still around, over sixty years later, still instilling people with fear, horror, and sadness? Or the sight of those who outlived them, and their families, merrily dancing on the very sites where they were meant to be destroyed?"

"There is never anything offensive about the survivors of genocide dancing."

I wasn't sure at first, but the old fella dancing did it for me. 2 minutes in I was doing that laughing/crying thing. Wonderful.

And finishing with Leonard Cohen, "Dance Me To The End Of Love", was perfect too.
