Would You Pay £18,500 For These Pictures Of Evil?

Although interesting to see I really would not want to own them.

Surely a museum is the best place for them to prevent their misuse by some misguided individual?

Why don't we blow up the Imperial War Museum and confine our future generations to ignorance whilst we are at it. Lets be like the Japanese,Mikey4444, and tell our kids nothing happened. Do you want to be in denial of the holocaust as well. Jeeeeez.

Adolf Hicler...

they're talking about throwing away the originals so they can't serve as fetishes, Dinapal. Since some of them have already been reproduced in the Mail, where the far right can easily find them, their documentary value won't be lost and nobody need forget anything.

They can be stored in a Museum, they dont have to be on display. Many artifacts are not on display but will be there for future historians to pour over.

'they're talking about throwing away the originals'

Burning. Any particular reason you changed their words, jno?

The Nazis burned stuff that didn’t suit their agenda. A slippery slope to be avoided.

[Dinapal]

I thought only Daesh wantonly destroyed history these days. Looks like it is catching on. :-(

[naomi24]

An immeasurable amount of history has been burned over the centuries. What this mindless vandalism has cost the world in terms of knowledge doesn’t bear thinking about.

samjenko, no; I assumed burning was just one possible way of getting rid of them.

I don't think photos that have already been reproduced are in the same category as, say, the buildings of Palmyra. Any documentary value they have comes from what they show, not from the actual materials used in printing them by Boots of Berlin. I'm not fussed what happens to them; as I've already mentioned, there are lots more photos and films of Hitler around already.

There's reason to stop at Hitler - let's track down and destroy any image or record of any really bad person that's ever existed in history.

[Samjenko]

Now you're talking, inshallah.

what's so special about pictures of Hitler ? His face must be among the most easily recognised in history, we have seen thousands photos of him.
