You're right. It does, Chris. If you feel the name should be changed, you are free to contact the creator, in a polite manner, and inquire as to why they named it as such. You'll probably get "Because it is a model of Auschwitz".
I don't understand why being honest about remembering the World's history is a bad thing. We would be hypocrites to ask that the name of a building, which is now a Memorial Museum, be changed simply because it causes some people discomfort.
In my personal opinion, the name should make everyone uncomfortable, but should never ever be forgotten or hidden away because of that. Some unbelievably horrible things went on inside those walls, but, in the end, it is just a building. The building did nothing but stand, and should stand as a memorial to those who survived, those who fought, and those who died.
