Ok,so he has a place in history but for his ’misdeeds’.

why should anyone think he shouldn’t be there? The museum exhibits wax statues of famous world personalities, and who can deny him a place in history? He was there, and will remain to be.

If we start judging people on their deeds then there will be many people who do not deserve to be in museums and who are yet glorified. It is better to judge people on their historical stature.

Instead of looking at the move as an attempt to glorify Hitler’s deeds, should we look at it as a lesson against the monstrous things he did??

Burying our heads in the sand and telling the kids the world is just sugar, spice and all things nice is just going to hamper their development...

Hitler was a prominent part of our collective history and not having his wax idol at Tussuad’s is not going to change that...

so we might as well have it, and educate our kids about the atrocities our fellow men have faced because of a biased loon... maybe it will teach them a little something called compassion!!!!

soory the comment was placed in the wrong box earlier

All is right and nothing is wrong;
To our likings all of us throng...

Therefore, what Adolf Hitler considered right for his Country he did, so there is no point of being wrong or right, what other nations did during that period can’t be defined ’HOLY WAR’. Moreover, Hitler is not the only person who committed crime against humanity. Our history is chockfull of many such legends who have bruised humanity for one reason of the other. However, that’s different that most of these personalities are dubbed as ’Legends’ and offered veneration. So, why so-called advocates of humanity don’t let Adolf Hitler hold the same status which his contemporaries are enjoying. And we shouldn’t forget that none of us is flawless.
Moreover, he was a great patriot and I salute such legends, be it Hitler or anybody else!!!

Good and evil is something that none can dispense with and a debate that will never end. Choosing one side or the other depends on ideological choice. Hitler is infamous, because the path that he took was different than one that man made parameters deem as evil and yes, rightly so.

However, before one starts jumping to the conclusion which side I am going to take, I advise them against doing so and request to follow the lines hereunder.

“Had there been no evil, no one would know what is good”, anyone who thinks contrary, can criticize me on this.

Nevertheless, the Tussauds museum that exhibits wax statues of famous world personalities can’t and should not deny Hitler his due place. He as a despot, racist, cruel…and god know what not…I don’t give the plucked hen. That was past. Is there a need or a good use to dig the grave again? Choice again rests….

Let me again come to the question why Hitler should stay in Tussauds museum. Hitler among the famous personalities of the world in Tussauds museum will remind the visitors of good and evil and to differentiate between two and opt for the right one – to opt for the path other than Hitler took. I end with one line from the beginner, “Had there been no evil, no one would know what is good”.

This is something I could not resist myself from doing. The topic has gathered momentum already!!! Whew.

As for someone mentioning, that putting a wax model of the FUHRER will ”send out wrong message to kids”, I would just like to point out that if there is Hitler at Tussauds then so is there Gandhiji.

You see the wax model will not send any messege until interrogated upon by young minds. When a child will ask his parents that why is THE MAN WITH THE MOUSTACHE AND THE OLD MAN WITH A STICK(PARDON MY WORDS),THERE AT TUSSAUDS, then I guess the kid will judge on his own, based on the answers he receives.

BOTH Hitler and Gandhiji are present at Tussauds, both had their causes which they achieved, but that what shall be the cause of the kid is on the kid to decide, ISN,T IT???

And this decision will not be possible if the kid is not exposed to history beyond his text books.

Rtaionality demands that all be presented to an individual so that he may excercise his freedom of choice and that being in the right direction.

When a child is enlightened that what did Hitler do to deserve a place in wax, then I am sure he will be sane enough to judge his own course of rational action.But for this decision its very important for the kid to know that what is GOOD and what is BAD!!!

YOU CAN NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING IS HUNKY DORY OUTSIDE. TO KNOW YOURSELF YOU NEED TO KNOW OTHERS...AND MOST IMPORTANLY WHAT THEY DID AND TO WHAT ENDS.

AND I think that there are GREATER influences out there which can harm a childs formative brain, AND so I think a poor wax statuette would do no harm!...SO GUESS WE NEED NOT WORRY...

SHAHWAR

Basically people forget that despite all his lunacy Adolf Hitler was a German fanatic who fought in world war 1 and won an Iron Cross or a medal akin to that for his bravery in the war. This is not distorted Nazi but a fact to which the most impartial writers of the world agree upon. His method of getting things done was wrong, but the way Germany was treated after WW1 was equally wrong as they had to pay a very heavy price for it.

It is funny how today’s textbooks and other documents in India glorify Winston Churchill who was Brit’s PM then and called Gandhi a ’Half-naked Phakir’ and there was no back hand compliment in that. Hitler has a place in history and that place is that of a what can go wrong when you exploit and destroy a country that has lost in a war, a place that tells you how national fanaticism can go wrong and how empires on not built on hatred but on love and peace.

Every time you do something horrible to a sect of people a monster is created from it and Hitler was just that- a charming, eloquent monster. But he has a place in Tussauds for sure.

Oh and one more thing to consider is the simple fact that ’WINNERS WRITE HISTORY’. You will observe that most often the popular opinion is that the winner was good and the loser is bad as that is the way propaganda takes place. I’m not supporting Hitler, bu somehow every time a battle is lost the man who lost it is a bigger monster than he ever was and the winners absolute angels of humanity.

He is a historical figure and no one can deny that. Wishing away evil is like closing your eyes and pretending that things that you don't approve are not happening or have not happened. Hitler definitely deserves a place at the Tussauds.

I would definitely like to see Hitler's wax statue in the Madame Tussaud museum. Just as the way he used to dress in his military uniform. The world would know what he was and what he did. Surely, why not?

I don't care about history. This is like glorifying a man who was responsible for millions of deaths and the holocaust. Such men do not deserve any space with other historical figures like Gandhi. This is a dangerous precedent that Tussauds is setting.

There must not be a debate on this at all...... he is a part of history. 21st century cannot be without him..... if not for him then Israel would not have been created. He should be treated as the father of Israel actually. :)

Yes I agree with my Bangla brother. This is a fact that Adolf Hitler actually is the main reason for the realization of millions of Jews since last 2000 to 3000 years to have a homeland. I suspect if the Jews secretly worship him. Strange, but that's possible.

Is Stalin's statue there? Mao Zedong's? Japan's Hirohito's statue? They have killed more men then Hitler. Mao takes the cake followed by Stalin. The Imperial Japanese Army choreographed the Asian Holocaust. So why single out Hitler? Anyway he is a historical figure just as much as someone said Ghandi was.

I cannot agree with those who argue that he was a historical figure and just because he was one hell of a historical figure he deserves to be on a public display such as the Tussauds that get millions of visitors every year. The reason is simple. You cannot offend an entire religion and race by putting his effigy there. Have you ever spared a thought of those who suffered in his hands?

Hitler indeed has a place in history for whatever reason. If the story of Gods must be told, the Satan would invariably figure in it. Hitler was simply a man, just like anyone else - part Satan, part God. Just that he was a little more of the former. That made him figure in our history books.

Taking him out of the books or museums does nothing to the fact that he existed and left an indelible imprint on the world.

Let him be in the Tussand’s for the world to see that a man like him once existed, and what he looked like.
