Groups representing Holocaust survivors have demanded that the Polish President explains how an artist was allowed to film a naked game of tag inside a Nazi camp gas chamber. 

The video installation showed naked men and women running around the former Stutthof camp, where 65,000 people were killed during the Second World War. 

Artur Żmijewski shot the 'Game of Tag' film in 1999 and it was displayed as part of an exhibition about Auschwitz in Krakow in 2015, despite Isreali objections.

The filming location was not known until this year when the Royal Family visited the camp and experts compared the footage.

The Organization of Holocaust Survivors in Israel and the Simon Wiesenthal Center have sent a letter to President Andrzej Duda to ask whether Artur Żmijewski had been granted permission to film at the site. 

They also asked President Duda to “clearly, properly condemn this so-called artwork,” the BBC reported.

“It’s really outrageous.

"I hope the Polish president will put in place regulations to make sure stuff like this doesn’t happen again,” the Wiesenthal Center’s chief Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff told the BBC.
