Come one, come all

Today's Tawdriness
Holocaust memorial planned for Atlantic City

Organizers of a Holocaust memorial planned for Atlantic City's boardwalk say there's a simple explanation for the seemingly odd location.

Go where the people are.

 What is this, a franchise now?  Maybe include Waffen-SS jumping into a tub of water on the Steel Pier?  Crematory Taffy? All solemnly dignified of course.If it's possible to overplay one's hand, even if it's a good one, this smacks of it. I smell PR disaster.  But, that's just me.

I dunno. On the one hand, "go where the people are" is right. I mean, a memorial is supposed to help people remember. If you only put it in the middle of the German woods, nobody sees it but the locals. Putting it in the heart of tourist country does give it exposure. But still, a Holocaust Memorial in Atlantic City seems . . . tacky.

There's a wonderful Holocaust Memorial and Museum in DC. Not tacky.
