I think it IS important because not only have they shown a disrespect for human life but they even show a disrespect for the dead.

It reminds me of beheadings when the victors went around with the heads displayed on poles. Barbaric and uncivilized.

None of this seems like the actions of civilized people If you visit one of the former concentration camps you might feel different.

My point was that if you have already crossed the moral line into acceptable extermination of innocents, that you would also mistreat the corpses isn't really the problem. It isn't as though the Nazis would be rehabilitated or made less cruel and shocking had they not exploited the dead bodies.

^^^ This.

I am also really curious as to why the newbie OP felt the need to pose such a question in the way he/she did, as if somehow Nazi atrocities are just as likely to be propaganda. (And then he/she chastises long-time posters to please stick to his/her bizarre question.) We've had enough Holocaust denial threads here (most of which have been closed very quickly, as they should be).
