The 4 1/2-minute clip of Adolek Kohn and his loved ones stiffly shuffling and shimmying to the disco hit, 'I Will Survive,' at Auschwitz and other places where millions died during the Holocaust has become a surprise hit on YouTube, sparking a fierce debate over whether it disrespects those who perished or is an exuberant celebration of life.(AP Photo/Jane Korman)AP - Who has the right to dance at Auschwitz, to make light of the Holocaust, to shoot videos set amid cattle cars and gas chambers?
