While Pink spent time with her children in Berlin, she shared several photos from her time in the European city — including her two children at the city’s Holocaust Memorial.
In the photo, her daughter Willow Sage, 8, and son Jameson Moon, 2, can be seen running through the memorial. Pink, who has been incredibly vocal in the past about the “parenting police,” went on to caption the slideshow of images with an explanation of why she chose to include the image of her children, even though she knew many online might not understand.
“For all of the comments; these two children are in actuality Jewish, as am I,” the 39-year-old singer wrote, adding that all of her mother’s side of the family is also Jewish.
“The very person who constructed this believed in children being children, and to me this is a celebration of life after death. Please keep your hatred and judgment to yourselves,” added Pink, who will be performing in Berlin on Sunday as part of her Beautiful Trauma world tour.
Although there were a few negative comments on the post, with one critic telling Pink they thought posting “happy photos” from the memorial was “wrong,” the majority of fans agreed with the singer.
“Please don’t imagine for one second that the people who died in that massacre wouldn’t want the sound of children’s laughter to surround the space outside because it is SO HEAVY inside,” wrote one social media user.
“Just because you visit a sad place, does not mean you have to be sad and take sad photos,” added another. “People would much rather have their deaths be a ground for happiness rather than sadness.”
