Why?
Because it really takes a seriousness away from it.
I 100% disagree. It's catchy, it's exactly the same, and gives you a picture in your head instantly.
That’s exactly the point: calling something a concentration camp shouldn’t sound like a marketing slogan that promotes it. Nothing really grabs attention of the public while also communicating something is unquestionably bad than calling a concentration camp. Because that’s exactly what it is.
I agree. As fun as it is to say, it puts a bit of humor into a humorless situation. No one would laugh if someone said German-Jew-Barbecue.

But it helps to have a marketing slogan to get others to understand that this is a bad thing. They built a facility for people to go and die in. Might as well call it Auschwitz.
