Auschwitz Memorial museum calls out WWE for using footage of the concentration camp during a WrestleMania video

By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor (@prowrestlingnet)

The Auschwitz Memorial Museum issued a statement regarding WWE using B-Roll footage of the concentration camp during Dominik Mysterio’s entrance video at WrestleMania. “The fact that Auschwitz image was used to promote a WWE match is hard to call ‘an editing mistake’,” reads a the state on the museum’s Twitter page. “Exploiting the site that became a symbol of enormous human tragedy is shameless and insults the memory of all victims of Auschwitz.” WWE did not immediately respond to NPR’s request for a comment.

Powell’s POV: WWE should address this with an apology and an honest explanation.

The fact that Auschwitz image was used to promote a WWE match is hard to call “an editing mistake”. Exploiting the site that became a symbol of enormous human tragedy is shameless and insults the memory of all victims of Auschwitz.https://t.co/b4bbYgWPwj https://t.co/Xud4rbhEUS pic.twitter.com/tuJrzmK6mQ
