Do you think it’s important preserve or destroy bad parts of history?
Such as the confederate flag, Hitlers piano, etc.

@LoveOfLore Objects give meaning to ideas and the reversal. Seeing is believing for many....

I agree... but the idea of huge museums being built to house and profit from history's hate seems like paying an elaborate homage hate.
Photographs, movies and words should be preserved...plenty there to remind us.

@LoveOfLore "history's hate" why would we want to forget what hate can do left unchecked? Is it really "hate" when conscripts were dying defending their land, per their own journals and memoirs?
Movies in place of history? Are you serious? How would those NOT be homages to hate? I sense doublestandards here.
