Have you ever burned a Bible?

I could be wrong, but I got the impression he was simply stating that the Holocaust is merely one part of a much larger series of events and that it in and of itself does not encapsulate that entire period. Meaning, one cannot simply study the Holocaust and get an accurate history of the events of the time.

No, I got the same same impression. Somebody is just a little on the ignorant side and thinks the Holocaust is the only noteworthy event of WWII. Never mind the other fifty odd million people that lost their lives.

Not that I would want them hanging on my wall!
If somebody wants to own them that's their business. I'd find it a little creepy somebody would want to own them and pay that much money for them, however.

Do you also agree with burning other objects of infamous people in history such Stalin or Churchill?

Personally I can see a museum wanting them but a private person wanting them would be a little creepy.
I am curious to know more about the couple that spawned such a man as Hitler, how could anyone not be. Anytime someone that evil comes along, we as a society should ask how did they come to be and look at their environment and wonder is it nature or nurture. What can you learn from a picture though. I should imagine in a museum though they would bring in a lot of attention.

If we ignore our history, we are doomed to repeat it.
