Re: Saving a Nazi Church

I had read about that. It would be good if it can be saved, perhaps as a museum and for use for special services.

Re: Saving a Nazi Church

That would be the best. I don't know if they would dare to tear it down. But you never know. It is up to the politicans. Hurray!

Re: Saving a Nazi Church

I think it should be preserved. If some fanatics want to destroy it we should ask about destroying napoleonic era memorabilias...

Couple of weeks ago I had seen on Polish satellite story from Masurian village.
It was East Prussia; for centuries the "ownership" fluctuated between Prussian and Polish Kings.
In 1945, 95% of the population left escaping soviets. After that area was
re-populated by Poles - refugees and repatriated families from the East, from areas taken by the soviets.
And now I could see on TV some young people which restore old cemeteries and monuments, saying that they want to live in harmony with natural history. Some of them live in houses which belonged to people which ancestors graves are nearby...
Younger generations want reconcilliation and are happy to take care of the graves of previuos generations.

I like it, but I'm afraid greed may be stronger than culture...
By greed, I mean greed of both sides...

I was thinking of Napoleon's tomb in Paris when I made my response as well.

Could not have said it better.

Well this is true. And without getting too philosphical, I agree choices need to be made in this day and age of limited budgets. But this one would be a shame to lose.

Re: Saving a Nazi Church

Yeah, it would be. Perhaps they will only censure it. Take away everything Nazi-like. That way they would have a nice little church.

Re: Saving a Nazi Church

You mean make it "politically" correct?

Re: Saving a Nazi Church

Sort of. Or like they do in computer games: A Eisernes Kreuz instead of a Hakenkreuz.
