: A friend saw a bumpersticker that said roughly, "Dachau is not Disneyland -- boycott McDonalds". Can anyone explain?

McDonald's opened a store right next to what was Dachau concentration camp, and there have been protests as a result. I think its because of the commercialism of making profits out of such a grotesque event/place. I'm not sure who's involved, I heard the name Shalom International or something like it, but no idea how to find out more.
