I was recently in Nuremberg, Germany and found something interesting that they do with Nazi buildings and memorbilia.
They don't destroy it, lest they appear to be trying to bury history. But then again they don't maintain it, lest they appear to be glorifying the past.
So you have all these Nazi buildings and what not falling into disrepair. There it is, it happened, look if you want. We're going to move on with our lives.
I thought it was a pretty shrewd course of action.
