Michael Rapaport posted a fake AI-generated image of a concentration camp victim on Facebook, along with a misleading backstory. The Auschwitz Memorial and Museum condemned this as a dangerous distortion that disrespects victims. They emphasized that publishing such fabrications harasses their memory. Errors in the backstory were identified, including misspelled names and inaccuracies regarding the orchestras at Auschwitz. Despite the condemnation, Rapaport's post remains active and continues to mislead users who believe it to be real.
Publishing fake, AI-generated images of Auschwitz is not only a dangerous distortion. Such fabrication disrespects victims and harasses their memory, the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum declared.
The story attached also seems fake: a) Henek is a misspelled form of Heniek, which comes from the Polish name Henryk. No surname is added.
Orchestras at Auschwitz did not play while men, women, and children were marched to their deaths. Their main job was to play when columns of prisoners walked out to work and marched back.
Despite the statement, Rapaport has yet to remove the post, which remains on Facebook as of this reporting and continues to receive comments and shares from users believing it to be real.
