Pink defends the commemorative photo of the Holocaust after the critics

The pop singer Pink is defended after publishing a photo of her children "playing" at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, dividing her fans online.

The post shows his children Willow and Jameson running between the pillars of the memorial.

She has been accused of "disrespect" by some, who have stated that she should teach her children to "respect the place".

In response, the singer said that her children were Jewish and quoted a quote from the architect of the memorial, who said that it was "a different environment" compared at other sites such as Auschwitz and should be treated as such.

Nicki Claires, an Instagram user, said she was "torn" by the photo because "the place should be treated with the utmost respect".

Others have disagreed, many simply claiming that "children will be children".

And one person shared a personal account to defend Pink.

"I am Jewish and my relatives have died in the camps," said Deb Johns. "It gives me the joy of seeing children enjoy life and continue when so many children are dead."

Many people also pointed out that Peter Eisenman, the designer of the Berlin Memorial, had stated that he should be treated differently from other memorial sites.

Eisenman had previously told the BBC: "My idea was to allow as many people from different generations, in their own way, to manage or not live in this place, and if they want to have fun, I think that 'is good.

"A memorial is a daily event, it is not a sacred ground."

Eisenman was speaking in 2017 in response to social media influencers who published selfies with the pillars of the memorial.

The takers of selfies were in the news after a German-Israeli writer challenged their shots and photographed them with scenes of concentration camps.

The site containing the photos has since been closed and now displays an email from one of the influencers apologizing for his actions.
