Critics see quenelle salutes performed ( and photographed ) in front of prominent Holocaust landmarks and Jewish institutions as proof of the prejudiced intent of the gesture . Individuals have been photographed performing the gesture at the Auschwitz extermination camp , and Alain Soral performed a quenelle in front of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin . One man , now sought by French police , performed the quenelle at three locales connected to the murder of Jews : two at sites related to the March 2012 Toulouse shootings and the other near the Paris monument commemorating the Holocaust
