Pink defended a photo she posted of her children running around at Berlin’s Holocaust memorial.

The Jewish pop singer, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, shared photos on Instagram Sunday from her trip to the German capital. One of the images in a post captioned “Berlin, I love you” showed her two young children running among the large stone blocks that make up the vast memorial.

Some commenters said their behaviour was a sign of disrespect at the solemn site. In response, the singer disabled comments on her posts on Monday.

“[F]or all of the comments; these two children are in actuality Jewish, as am I and the entirety of my mother’s family,” she wrote as part of the post. “The very person who constructed this believed in children being children, and to me this is a celebration of life after death. Please keep your hatred and judgment to yourselves.”
