    They also installed sprinkler system for tourists at some tourist attractions in the very hot summer of 2015. Except they also did this at the Auschwitz camp. It was quite the uproar.

      People were upset they added misters to Auswitz for the museum tourists? It’s not like they were spraying them with lethal poison like they used to at that location. Sounds like a moment where it only was weird because people made it weird.

        One Jewish visitor said that she had lost many relatives to the Holocaust at Auschwitz and that the water misters looked like the showers are family had had to endure before going to the gas chamber. Many Israeli visitors who have experienced the water misters have criticised them as distasteful.
