As someone who really does not get easily offended by things, I find this very highly offensive.

Please lets not go there. I know him personally from Israel. He is a naive person and he really doesn't realize what he is doing with those cards. Please lets not start with politics. Loshon hora is worse then a lot of aveiros out there.

Their intent was honorable but their execution is a slap in the face not only to the six million but to the survivors and their families.

Let's not go where? What does this have to do with politics? And if the person who made or commissioned this is naive, who is manipulating him?

Strikes me as QUITE Israeli. Possibly the most insular NY circles, but I'd bet on israeli/minded. It's not even that they don't have Shoah family. It's that they are totally in another planet than they and we are. I don't know who did this but I know what kind did, and I know how their (charedi) Shoah family feels about their general meshigas.

I believe the comparison is meant to be that the Holocaust was a physical destruction and the internet is a spiritual destruction.

Are we all so beyond dead spiritually because we made the catastrophic decision to use the internet and we all should regret it terribly every minute of our lives for the damage it caused?

Oy.

It's appalling.
For those who want an explanation -it's a play-on-words.
The Nazis welcomed the Jews to Auschwitz with a sign that said "Arbeit macht frei"- work will make you free.

This poster says smartphones will make you "frei" which is a colloquialism for "not frum".

So what's with all the ambulances? And what does the rest of it say?

The implication is that your soul is in imminent danger and you need an "ambulance" to rescue you from spiritual death. He really piles it on, doesn't he? I can't get the image big enough or sharp enough to read the text on this little screen.

845 is Rockland county, home to Monsey New Square and Monroe. Although a cell phone can be anywhere.
