Family Shoots 'I Will Survive' Video While Visiting Auschwitz

Posted by samzenpus on from the was-that-wrong? dept.

Jane Korman is taking some heat for posting a video of her family dancing to the disco hit, I Will Survive while on a trip to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. The Kormans are Jewish; Jane defends the recording, saying the video, which includes her 89-year-old father who survived the holocaust, was "a celebration of life and survival."

  1. It's like mocking the guy by phantomfive · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The part where they are dancing in front of Hitler's intended 'museum to an extinct race' says it all. They are dancing in front of the failures of a guy who tried to destroy them and utterly lost. It's like pissing on the grave of your tormentor. Check out the old guy's dance moves at 3:00, he's happy to have survived.

    Can someone tell me why the Australasian Performing Rights Association has any reason to order the takedown of a video containing a song performed by American Gloria Gaynor, written by Freddie Perren, American, and released on Polydor Records, British?
