Ice cream stand set up outside Auschwitz refuses to close 

An ice-cream stand set up on private property directly outside Auschwitz has refused to close despite the offence its presence has caused.

The site managers of the notorious former death camp, in which more than a million people are estimated to have perished, described the ice-cream stand as “tasteless” and “disrespectful”.

The stand appeared in late April, following which images of it have circulated on social media, with many condemning the “inappropriate” location.
