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."
