Naked demonstrators kill sheep under Auschwitz gates

Police in Poland have detained at least 11 people after a naked demonstration at the Auschwitz museum, on the site of the former Nazi death camp.

The museum said "a group of people killed a sheep, undressed and chained themselves together".
...
The motive behind the demonstration was unclear, officials said.
...
The demonstrators could be charged with insulting a monument or symbolic place, which may result in a fine or a restriction of liberty, police said.
...
Some Polish media say the action was a protest against the war in Ukraine, BBC Warsaw correspondent Adam Easton reports.

When no one really knows what you're "demonstrating" about, but the best guess is something completely unrelated to the sombre monument you're detracting from, it's a big failure.

They're saying something like:
"If the Jews and other concentration camp prisoners didn't act like docile sheep and banded together they could've escaped their chains of bondage and turned the tides on the Nazis."

Not that I agree with that statement, but that's my interpretation of what their's was.
