How very magnanimous...
Until recently I worked as a guitar tech for a reasonably successful rock band. While touring Europe last year we had a look around Auschwitz and Birkenau on our day off, then found ourselves putting on a show in Leipzig the following day. The lead guitarist, in a gap between songs, addressed the audience thus:

"Yesterday we went to Auschwitz. We were all very moved, and quite shocked to see what man is capable of doing to his fellow human beings. Anyway, I just want to say that it's really not your fault and you shouldn't worry about it."

This was greeted by a stunned silence (apart from the odd gasp) and a fair few punters walked out.

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

Relevant brief pearoast: at Auschwitz some years ago, after the guide's heartbreaking description of the murders of several hundred Hungarian gypsies,
the English tourists present nodded and murmured 'Well, best thing really..'
