Art is subjective.  Whether or not you find a LEGO made recreation of a concentration camp by artist Zbigniew Libera art, is your own opinion.  Although Libera insists that it was sponsored by LEGO, LEGO says they did not.

I must admit, I found it quite interesting.  I don’t think I’d want to play with such a toy, however, I found myself drawn to the photos, particularly the ones of skeletons.  I wasn’t surprised by such a thing, nor was I repelled in disgust.  Instead, I found myself contemplating why someone would create such a thing, as well as recalling the vast information I have learned over the years about the Holocaust.  In the end, art is about reflection, so I would say, in this instance, Zbigniew Libera has done his job well.
