Has she been carted there as a part of a school trip, and is really indifferent to it? Is she, and are a certain slice of her peers simply so conditioned to posing in front of a camera and instagramming the result, that this is simply her instinctive reaction? The individual sharing the picture has simply copied it without any identifying information, which is certainly better than doxing her, but also means we have no idea if the caption to the picture was \u201clove the way the jeans show off my butt\u201d or \u201cwhat a moving experience to have been here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, back in March, as <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/International\/selfie-holocaust-memorial-sites-europe-combat-social-media\/story?id=62025268\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ABC News reported<\/a>, the Auschwitz Memorial twitter account asked visitors to be respectful by not walking on the train tracks as if a balance beam:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">When you come to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AuschwitzMuseum?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">@AuschwitzMuseum<\/a> remember you are at the site where over 1 million people were killed.

Located in Montgomery, Alabama, it is a <a href=\"https:\/\/museumandmemorial.eji.org\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">memorial and a museum<\/a> about slavery and the Jim Crow legacy, and the tagged photos on Instagram encompass both elements. Now, the two sites aren\u2019t entirely comparable as Berlin is a tourist attraction drawing visitors from across the globe for whom this is a quick stop among many other sites to be checked off in a busy day, and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice visitors have made a point of visiting this site because of its history, but I think there\u2019s also something about the design of the site that provokes contemplation, and those the photographers showed visitors who were serious and contemplative rather than sultry or playful:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF;
