The Auschwitz concentration camp, now a preserved historical site and a somber reminder of the atrocities committed during World War II, was the setting for a controversial encounter involving Elon Musk, Gidon Lev, and Julie Gray. Lev, a Czechoslovak-born Israeli dairy farmer and Holocaust survivor, was invited to Auschwitz as a “special guest” by Musk. The event aimed to foster dialogue and promote remembrance, but what transpired has left lasting scars and raised serious questions about Musk’s intentions and sensitivity.
