"The 'victims' trend on TikTok can be hurtful and offensive. Some videos are dangerously close or already beyond the border of trivialisation of history.
"But we should discuss this not to shame and attack young people whose motivation seem very diverse. It's an educational challenge."
An 81-year-old man who was a young child when he was held at two different concentration camps said the videos and trend trivialised the Holocaust.
"If their families have been involved in what my family had been involved in, they would see the horror of it," Dr Martin Stern MBE told Metro UK.
"It's no excuse to think that you're 'entertaining' or doing something good. Ignorance is no excuse for behaving in a deeply immoral way."
Marc Cave, the CEO of the UK National Holocaust Museum, said the videos were "demeaning" to victims and survivors of the Nazi genocide, in which approximately six million Jewish people died.
He described the video challenge as "trauma porn" and "facile, puerile role play".
"If they want to spread awareness, work with Holocaust educators like ourselves," he added.
Despite it being labelled a trend, thousands have taken to Twitter asking for the TikTok trend to stop.
"I'm sad this has become something people think is okay to practice their makeup and acting abilities with," one person wrote.
"This is the suffering of millions."
The Holocaust saw the genocide of six million European Jews people and more than a million people were killed at Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945.
