Auschwitz is visited by more than a million people a yearChelsea may require fans found guilty of anti-Semitic abuse to visit the site of Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz rather than banning them. "If you just ban people, you will never change their behaviour," chairman Bruce Buck told the Sun newspaper. A group of 150 people, consisting of Chelsea club staff, stewards and supporters, visited Auschwitz in June to learn about the deaths of more than a million people killed there between 1940 and 1945. The club, who have also produced a film to encourage the reporting of abuse, would consider funding similar trips to Auschwitz as part of their restorative justice approach to deal with abuse. Videos also appeared on social media of some supporters singing anti-Semitic songs before their FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham earlier that year.
