#2 I just read about this in "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". Everyone who had a job in the Third Reich had to belong to the official union, and the union would take a bit out of your paycheck to help pay for vacations at spots like this one.

Of course, the union was controlled by the Nazi party, and the party skimmed quite a chunk of cash out of the union funds. The vacations were cheap, but were run even cheaper, and doubled as Nazi indoctrination camps.

This place should be flattened and the debris dumped into a deep, deep part of the ocean.

Chris W, your snarky comment about Jews was uncalled for.

#7 Chris W, your snarky comment about Jews was uncalled for.

It was a comment about people like Schwartz who wish that we "would learn to forget about the past", which in this case means to forget that these giant resorts were built with blood money stolen from murdered German and European Jews, and I will not retract it.

#8 He didn't say "learn to forget about the past", he said "learn to get over the past".

Maybe still not pretty. But if they manage to put a Nazi building to good use, I won't complain. And keeping the building will tell people more about the monstrosity of the Nazi past than removing it.

You don't knock down the Pyramides because they were built with slaves and certainly a lot of blood (not that I'm comparing the architectonic value of both buildings).
