First gay tour of Auschwitz announced

Israeli travel group Hebro Travel is to hold the first gay tour of WWII concentration camp Auschwitz, it's been revealed.

The tour is marketed as 'The Poland and Prague pride trip'.

In addition to the visit to the historical site, the trip – taking place from 7-16 August – will take in various Jewish heritage tours, also visiting Krakow and Warsaw before ending up in Prague for the Czech Republic's Pride Festival.

Jayson Littman, founder of Hebro Travel – a company for 'gay Jews and those who love us' – last week told the Jewish Daily: 'I knew I was touching on uncharted territory.'

'I kept hearing: "Who wants to go on a trip like that?" But many more people said it's a wonderful idea. And surprisingly few realize how many gay people were murdered in the Holocaust.'

He added: 'We're working out the details of the actual visits to the camps. It'll probably involve laying a wreath, having a rabbi there from the local community, and inviting someone from the local LGBT population to speak as well.'

Last month saw the seventieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

From June 5-14, the group will also be hosting a '10-day Israel adventure', which will cover Tel Aviv Pride.

Since they always say homosexuals were targeted during the Holocaust, I'm amazed this is the first homosexual tour.

Because everyone cares about what you do with your genitalia.

Whoever is running the show at Auschwitz is going to end up regretting it.

Turd burglars won’t be able to resist claiming it as their own and things will only go downhill from there.

I think this will cause relations between Israel and Poland to fracture.

Reform Judaism. There is a congregation here, not a temple, that has a lesbian rabbi. The mind boggles.

Keep it light, keep it bright,
Keep it brassy, keep it sassy,
Keep it happy, keep it snappy—
Keep it gay!

‘And surprisingly few realize how many gay people were murdered in the Holocaust.’

Between 5,000 to 15,000 homosexuals were sent to the camps. Out of 10,000,000 people who were murdered in them. And some homosexuals were released after undergoing castration or other medical experiments.

And surprisingly few realize how many gay people were Nazis.

My oldest son’s going there in May. Glad he won’t be there when they are.

Did you get that quote from somewhere, because it sounds perfect for homosexuals.
