BUT, there is thin line between commemoration and commercialization. As a professionally trained historian, you can remember history without necessarily preserving the worst aspects of our humanity for the world to gawk and open-mouthed..
again, I say it, the people who perpetuate these camps are bragging, even if inadvertantly, and I will pray a thanksgiving prayer the day an arsonist burns them to the ground the way they tried to get the Hollywood sign last year...

i suggest you go to one of those places, i worked in one as a tour guide so take it from me there is no 'bragging' and they are in no way commercialised. many of them are free admition. i really dont think that you know what your talking about here. two people tried to burn the remaining parts of sachsenhausen down in the 80's. i think there is something very wrong if you would rejoice at the burning down of a museum to the holocaust.
