Jane Korman's 89-year-old father Adolek Kohn is joined by his daughter and her three children in dancing to the Gloria Gaynor disco classic in parts of Auschwitz - where 1.1 million were exterminated by Nazis during World War 2.
They are also videoed swaying to the beat in the grounds of the Dachau concentration camp in Germany, Poland's Lodz Ghetto Memorial, outside a synagogue and at the Theresienstadt concentration camp in the Czech Republic.
The clip, posted by Ms Korman on YouTube, shows the family dancing in front of Auschwitz's entrance under the iconic "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign and then on the railway tracks at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
At one point Ms Korman's son imitates the goose-step march associated with Nazi troops.
Mr Kohn, who was imprisoned at Auschwitz, has the final word, describing his return to Poland with his three grandchildren as "a really historical moment".
The video has received more than 320,000 hits, the responses are mostly favourable.
"It says to the Nazis - I survived. You failed. That family are dancing on the grave of Nazism and showing that the human spirit cannot be broken by evil, that is the biggest putdown to Nazism imaginable. Bravo," wrote one.
