Why would my wife think I'd want to visit a Nazi museum? 🤔
A partial answer is that her first language isn't English and she misunderstood me when I said "NASA". But instead of reacting like

What is her first language?
I can see how zi vs sa could sound similar.
Also, NASA does have some NAZI roots (USA and later the USR brought Germany scientist home in government programs to expand scientific programs... also, to make sure they weren't using their science for any evil German works).

The operation played a crucial role in the establishment of NASA and the success of the Apollo missions to the Moon.
Operation Paperclip was part of a broader strategy by the US to harness German scientific talent in the face of emerging Cold War tensions, and ensuring this expertise did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union or other nations. The operation's legacy has remained controversial in subsequent decades.

After more than two decades of service and leadership in NASA, four Nazi members from Operation Paperclip were awarded the NASA Distinguished Service Medal in 1969: Kurt Debus, Eberhard Rees, Arthur Rudolph, and Wernher von Braun.
Ernst Geissler was awarded the medal in 1973.

@HootyTheNightOwl I would visit one. Horrible history but history none the less.
@nudistsueaz We have to remember, though... we don't ensure that history never repeats itself by banning all mention of the history that we are ashamed of.
We ensure that history never repeats itself by going and seeing these museums and monuments, remembering why they are there and teaching our children that there are monsters out there who tortured other people.
We remember our war dead - many of whom died in WWII, yet, we are uncomfortable to remember what the opposition did to men, women and children back then.
Right now, war seems to be looming again... so it could very easily be any one of us paying that ultimate price in a (hopefully) less gruesome way than concentration camps.

I imagine you are talking about a museum ABOUT Nazis rather a museum run by them. Well, maybe she thinks that it would be interesting to learn about that dark period of history.
