Mamula Island Resort Plan

Absolutely tasteless.
"Montenegro’s government has greenlit plans to transform a former World War II concentration camp into a luxury beach resort with a nightclub, spa and restaurants.
The decision has been met with anger from families of those who were imprisoned on Mamula Island while it was occupied by Italian forces under the rule of fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
With the goal of transforming the rocky island into a retreat for wealthy clientele, renderings show a restored fortress with an overflow pool and palm trees, VIP area, outdoor dining, a beach club, a marina for superyachts, and a dance floor for parties.
It is dominated by a fort that was built in 1853 under Austro-Hungarian rule to prevent a naval attack.
Today, the island is uninhabited and the fortress is unused, but it was the scene of unspeakable horrors during the war, when it was converted into a concentration camp that held more than 2,000 people."

They should make a memorial complex if they want to put the island in use but I guess it's more profitable if they transform it in luxury beach resort.

I think this is a desecration of a historical place and of the victims of a death camp that once was there.

 

Awful. Just awful.
