Fuck them too, that shit wouldn't be missed either. Nothing to see here, move along.
It's a waste of space for that level of context and texture. We don't need it. Nobody even wants it.
The next time somebody tells me to clean my room I'm going to ask if they support ISIL
Because how else can we truly understand Hitler unless we contrast his brutality with empty sentimentality???
The paintings, unless a lot of museums are bidding on these worthless and possibly fraudulent artifacts and I just missed it.
It is not up to you decide that, that is why you put this kind of artifact in a museum reserve, so that it is preserved and so that people can study them if so they wish.

It just really makes you think
You keep saying nonsensical things like nobody wants it, or it's useless, or it has no value and so on.

None of Hitler's personal stuff would dude, certainly not enough for an exhibit or museum
Agaunx hoarder mentality. They obviously don't even want it because they know it'd a waste. I would keep zoology stuff because that's important. Like cool fossils and taxidermies and shit. Not Hitler's doodles.
You're right, there are probably some very fine people who would want to privately own an original Hitler painting.
The defense for keeping poorly-constructed Confederate monuments (which are really just monuments to racism) erected in the south is that it's their "history". What should actually be done is to place those shittily-made statues in a museum, and displayed to recognize the history of the war, and explain why racist morons would think that placing monuments to losers in the middle of their cities was a good idea.
Whether it's a museum or a nazi that owns/wants it, the quality of the person doesn't factor into whether or not it has any value.
You're insistence that there is a historical imperative that we preserve Hitler's knickknacks so we have "context and texture" is worthless. Scrutinizing the memorabilia of a despot gestures at some greater understanding of the human condition, but doesn't actually achieve such. There isn't anything to glean by examining just what type of chair Hitler liked to relax in when he wasn't drafting the Final Solution. Worst yet, it wraps him in a worthless sentimentality that blunts his monstrosity. As if knowledge of how he invaded sovereign nations, murdered and enslaved its people needs to be couched between human-interest fluff pieces about his personal life.
If you're here, in the thread about Hitler's shitty art being put on sale and bunches of posters saying "it belongs in a museum", planting your flag in saying that vague Hitler-related things should be in vaguely-defined museums, how are you surprised that people took that to mean that you were referring to the items this topic is specifically about?
