Another mind-bending dancing-in-an-inappropriate-place video

Well if I thought the video of the Israel soldiers dancing in Hebron was tricky to respond to, this one really takes the cake:

I get the concept: by dancing in the ruins of concentration camps we prove that we have survived etc. I'm not someone  who generally takes a po-faced view of these things. Still, for me this just doesn't come off. It's not moving, it's not funny, it's not transgressive, it's not fun - so what is it? I'm going to have to leave that as a rhetorical question...

If writing poetry after Auschwitz was barbaric, what would Adorno have said about this!

Funny that you say that because apparently the intent of the video was to prove Adorno wrong, according to this Guardian report. A complete failure, then.

For what it's worth, my father in law, who is a survivor, saw this video and absolutely hates it. He thinks that the guy must be senile and was tricked into it by his children.
