Nazi memorabilia: is it wrong to collect it?

What would you think of a person who collects Nazi memorabilia?

Are you interested in history? I am interested in all history. Does it matter if you collect something that is considered controversial? It is, after all, part of history.

Yes. Its wrong. The memorabilia itself is one thing. But giving money to the people who have the poor taste to own it is definitely wrong..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Why do they have poor taste? It is history.

@emiliya It is. But not the better part of it. I get that people collect all sorts of things as value investments, because rarity drives up the price. But (if you will pardon the poor taste) if I decided to collect the skulls of your specific dead ancestors as a curiosity I am sure you would consider that an affront. The Nazi Germany era is one that, while it needs to be remembered to learn a lesson from, doesnt deserve to be commemorated as merchandise..😷
