Two hundred people deployed to save an historical building that had an exhibition about the crimes committed there. Every opportunity to remember all the faces of evil is important.
I don’t understand why people celebrate history going up in flames.
As long as you’re careful to distinguish actual historical monuments (e.g. this) from propagandistic fake ones built long after-the-fact (e.g. Confederate statues built in the 1950s).
I don’t explicitly think it should be burned down, but I do know of specific examples of modern day Nazis who still venerate it and just don’t have the equipment to process that it’s intended to be cautionary and not a shrine to hitler.
Fascists watch Starship Troopers and come away impressed by the cool soldiers shooting bugs. those people are not going to be shamed by a scoldy exhibition with pictures of concentration camp dead. They want more of that!

Of course. But I would still see value of preserving those in the right context - for example, a Rewriting History Museum instead of a public square.
