Auschwitz On Facebook?

From the BBC:
"Auschwitz launches Facebook Site"

I'm not sure how I feel about Auschwitz being on Facebook. I mean Facebook is supposed to be a social-networking site to bring people together. While I do believe that people (especially children) need to be taught about the importance of the Auschwitz Death Camp - where 1 million people including men, women and children were murdered - I don't think Facebook or MySpace or any site like these is the correct place to educate people about the horrors of Auschwitz or the Holocaust.

    I think it would be ok on YouTube since it is for videos and not a social-networking site. I have seen many videos regarding the Holocaust and the war on YouTube and found most of them to be very informative.
