if white trash southerners can get married at a historic monument to human suffering why can't I, glorious eurotrash, hold the ceremony of everlasting love at one in europe?

Seriously I'm pretty sure the answer is "because Auschwitz is a name people know and it is not pretty"

If a particular plantation was famous primarily for murdering millions of slaves, and that plantation was also not visually appealing to look upon, it probably would not be a popular wedding venue, but because individual plantations don't have notoriety and are pretty, they get a pass.

well good thing you remind guests about that bad poo poo when rooms for travelling guests at destination plantation weddings are in small buildings where the slave quarters used to be

Oh, also another factor is that the Nazi regime fell in disgrace

If the US government fell and its replacement condemned it loudly and publicly for reasons which included its protection and defense of slavery for way way too long, I kinda doubt that people would be getting married at plantations anymore

Also the passage of time is probably a big one, who knows what people will be doing with those camps in a hundred years

Oh boy when my parents were in Germany, my dad had his sister in law crawl inside one of the ovens at Dachau for photos. Ah the 80's. Bet they won't let you do that today.

I stayed there when I was five years old! I think my parents' justification was "it looks nice and is one of the cheaper ones" but I never asked

at least auschwitz is honest in an aesthetical sense, then; an ugly place for an uglier purpose

makes plantations that much more awful

At Dachau the crematoriums are now weird shrine things that you can walk into. They look like sets for a sci-fi movie.

I've never been to a Disney resort because my parents are misers.
