How to cope with disgusting fellow travellers?
This summer I was in Krakow. We stayed in a hostel and did an organized tour from there. We visited Auschwitz concentration camp. We were a group of approximately 10 people and unfortunately some of them were really disturbing. For example they posed under the infamous Arbeit macht frei sign and did some rude poses that I don't want to mention here. How do you cope with such situations? I did feel very embarrassed since I was part of the same group. I complained by the tour guide and also the hostel, but they said they can't do anything.
Best Answer
If they break the law or other rules, you could turn them to the authorities. If they're just being jerks, what can you do? You could ask them politely to stop, but that's probably it. In general, you'd just have to find better company, go elsewhere, or simply (try to) ignore them.

I guess similar to how you cope with inappropriate behaviour if you are not traveling. I completely understand your discomfort, for me that is a reason to travel in groups as little as possible.
Remember that you are as responsible for someone else behaviour when traveling, then when you are at home. As Jonik pointed out, ignoring them and immediately seek more pleasure company might be the only solution.
