This is going to sound really harsh, but people who vacation in North Korea as if it were a normal country should have known better.
If I knew someone who took a package tour to the sunny Treblinka area in 1942 and a during a leisurely stroll through the ash-covered meadows near the camp, a guard took his head off, would I be surprised? Hell no.
