So, They Sell Hot Dogs At Auschwitz. How Do You Write About It?
They sell hot dogs at the Auschwitz snack bar. I'll let that sink in for a moment... In fact, the only food available for lunch that can quickly be wolfed down before the bus to Birkenau is the hot dog. I can't say with 100% certainty, but both my wife and I thought it was a traditional frankfurter. And we do enjoy our frankfurters. By the way, the hot dog? Delicious. It was served on this crunchy-on-the-outside-chewy-on-the-inside roll, it came with a homemade relish of big chunks of pickled onions and cabbage, and was topped off with killer tangy ketchup. From the center of Krakow, the Auschwitz tour is an all-day deal, so the sale of nourishing non-kosher concentration camp hot dogs sure seemed like one final twist of the knife. Apart from the idea of Auschwitz having a snack bar making us want to vomit just a little, there's a truly tasteless potential feature piece lying among all of that. Actually, forget about it. Auschwitz having a snack bar? That's just wrong. (Image via Jewcy) Email This Post |
