I keep my collecting interests close to my chest unless I feel whoever I'm speaking to is open minded, and has an interest in history. It was an important part of history, perhaps the most important period in the last few hundred years, and the relics of the defeated foe in this most epic of struggles hold an allure. Not because I feel an affinity with their ideals, it's a very intangible and hard to explain thing (impossible to explain to some).
I don't think digging at a place like Auschwitz is in good taste.
