Officials of the Israeli Holocaust Museum (Yad Vashem) were in an uproar a few weeks ago at the announcement that a monument was to be erected in Berlin memorialising the homosexuals that were slaughtered by the nazi regime.
The very thought of such a memorial might take away from the earnings of certain people who have perpetuated the myth that it was only Jews that suffered during that period.
A common Jewish phrase heard quite often after mentioning the name of a person considered to be an enemy is “may his name be erased from memory’. One would think that hitler would fit into that category… but NO… hitler is a name that must be kept alive in order to keep raking in those ‘Holocau$t Buck$’.
As can be seen below, ‘honouring’ hitler with a spot at Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum is quite different than hounouring hundreds of thousands of victims killed by that very beast.
Therefore, Hitler must be placed in Madame Tussauds, and as Israelis we should have a direct interest in seeing him there. Hitler denial – making him disappear, hiding him, and making him forgotten – is a blatant potential opening for Holocaust denial. If Hitler is not there, the awareness of his actions won’t be there either. If we have no discussion, which may start at Madame Tussauds’ childish museum, there will be no memory.
Hitler is not displayed for reasons of amusement or art, but rather, as a reminder. The visitors to the museum will surely stop by his doll and scrutinize the frozen face in yet another failed attempt to interpret, penetrate, gain a trace of understanding into the roots and essence of evil.
Hitler is a popular and proper starting point for diving into the swamp of the Holocaust. We must not make him disappear.

I’ve heard it said, that a “special place in hell” is reserved for those men who oppress or take advantage of women, children, the elderly, and the sick.
Messrs. Benyamin Nut’n'Yahoo, Avidolf Liebercleansing, and Ehud Barbarak might do well to heed, as I believe they’re at the head of that pack.

Hi Steve
Why are they worried in Yad Vashem, are they afraid of Jews being associated with Gays? Would they be as concerned with a monument for communists?
