Family Shoots 'I Will Survive' Video While Visiting Auschwitz

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."

I'll say it, congrats!

This is art at it's best. Maybe a bit too satirical/ironic for people's tastes depending on your viewpoint, but personally it looks like the survivor in the video is getting a blast out of it, so great for him. and if he's enjoying it you all should too. :)

Good for them! I wish I could have taken my relatives to the various death-camps for a celebration like this one!!!

I agree. If anyone can decide what is acceptable, it would have to be those that were victimized. I don't see it as satirical or ironic, more of as a celebration. Not only did he survive, but it looks to me like he didn't let it prevent him from enjoying life, either.

It's like mocking the guy

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.

One more "Job Well Done"

If you live through a Holocaust then dancing to "I will Survive" in the place of you torment is an appropriate response. Hope he went and danced on Hitlers grave too.

There's no such thing as "Hitlers grave", the allies made damn sure of that.
They where afraid it might turn into a shrine for die-hard Nazi's.

"...the allies made damn sure of that."

To be precise, it was the Soviets who did that, under direct orders of Stalin. The Soviets were actually given the task of taking Berlin, American & British troops did not take part in the Battle of Berlin until after the Soviets won it, they only cut up and occupied the four sectors along with France afterward. The Soviet 3rd Shock Army took the Reichstag and discovered the charred bodies of Hitler and Braun in the rear grounds. He decreed in secret order that the remains were to be disposed of, and no mention of this was to be made to the British and American forces. When asked directly by the Allies the Soviet 3rd SA commander Kutznetsov shrugged and said he didn't know anything about Hitler or his whereabouts. To this day scholars are still trying to understand Stalin's reasoning for the secrecy.

What in the world?

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?

Hitler has nothing on the MAFIAA.
