Berlin wax museum wants to include Hitler

What part of the phrase INCREDIBLY STUPID BAD IDEA don’t they understand?

Hitler would be featured as a broken man in a dark, bunker-like setting, with panels providing explanations on the dictator, spokeswoman Natalie Ruoss said, adding a figure of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill would be shown in the same room.

Only way Herr Schickelgruber should be included is if they also have a display featuring his victims.

    The Hitler soap-on-a-rope was deemed to be in much worse taste, so this must have been a compromise.

    I don’t know, maybe because it IS history, whether we like it or not, and the exhibit teaches something. It certainly doesn’t glorify him.

    Pretending something never happened doesn’t make it go away.

    I agree. And I still think it’s dumb marketing.
