Dancing Auschwitz - I Will Survive


I think this is awesome.  I'm on the verge of tears.

Jane Kormans 89-year-old father Adolek Kohn arrived at Auschwitz in a cattle car over 65 years ago. In 2009, he returned to Auschwitz and other locations in Poland associated with the Holocaust and did a victory dance with his daughter and several of his grandchildren. When Korman first exhibited the videos in Australia, she received quite a bit of criticism:

Many Jewish survivors have reacted gravely to the video, accusing her of disrespect. Yet Korman told Australian daily The Jewish News that it might be disrespectful, but he [her father] is saying were dancing, we should be dancing, were celebrating our survival and the generations after me, the generation hes created. We are affirming our existence.
