    Why tf should they be in a museum, it’s ahistorical. It’s not erasing history to remove monuments; never in my life have I ever seen a monument to Hitler, but most people can still give a broad strokes review on why he’s infamous. You don’t need to memorialize something to teach it.

      I’ve been to a stunning transport museum in Germany. Incredible restored vehicles from all over the world. Even a Concorde jet. Super cool.

      They also have Hitler’s car there. It’s stunning, it’s historical, it happened, and the modern crime would be to hide it away, or destroy it.

      Without our past, we can’t learn for our future. Put that kind of stuff in a museum. Have an information display about why it was there. Inform the future generations. Empower them with knowledge.

        This isn’t Hitler’s car though, this is a Neo Nazi monument made in the 80s; it has zero historical value

        Well the message of why this statue is there is that our nation has tolerated this leech of owner class and oligsrch fascists for far too long thanks to liberal civility politics and private property rights for art displayed in a public town square.
