Concentration Resort

From NYP:
"WW 2 Concentration Camp To Become Luxury Resort"

A World War II concentration camp where prisoners were tortured and starved is to be transformed into luxury beach resort with a nightclub and spa. The government of Montenegro, a small Balkan country with rugged mountains, medieval villages and a narrow strip of beaches along its Adriatic coastline, is allowing developers to transform the island into a luxury retreat. The decision has been met with anger from families of those who were imprisoned on Mamula Island while it was occupied by Italian forces under the rule of fascist leader Benito Mussolini. Mamula, which was a 19th century Austro-Hungarian fortress, still has ruins of prison cells where thousands were held and more than 130 were killed or starved. Despite the site’s solemn history, the Montenegrin parliament approved a project from the Swiss-Egyptian company, Orascom, that will build Mamula Resort, according to ANSA. oth the government and Orascom have said that the resort will keep with Mamula’s historical character, though renderings show much of the fortress filled in with a pool deck and sunbathing chairs. Located near Montenegro’s border with Croatia, the circular island is in the Adriatic Sea at the entrance of the Bay of Kotor. The island is called Lastavica, but is popularly known as Mamula. It is dominated by a fort that was built in 1853 under Austro-Hungarian rule to ward off a naval attack.

^ I have been to Montenegro (near where this place is) and I do not think it is a wise decision to turn it into a resort. It should be made into a memorial museum. ^
