Auschwitz Memorial criticises Twitter for not removing post calling for Jews to 'burn in hell'

The memorial also posted what it said was Twitter's reply to its complaint which stated the post did not violate the platform's rules.

The response said: “After reviewing the available information, we determined there were no violations of the Twitter rules in the content you reported.” 

The post was later deleted by the account owner. 

More than 1 million people, most of them Jews, perished at the Auschwitz camp in gas chambers or from starvation, cold and disease. 

Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe.

Twitter owner Elon Musk has described himself as a free speech absolutist. However, many critics have said his approach is irresponsible. 

Researchers have found an increase in hate speech and antisemitic content on the platform since he took over, and some governments have accused the company of not doing enough to moderate its content.

Twitter did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
