This is why monuments glorifying horrors shouldn’t just be taken down, they should be completely destroyed
I understand your sentiment but don't you think they would do the world more good in an exhibit or museum that explains the cultural context? Those who forget are doomed etc.
While I see your point, I fear that even in the context of a museum they would become targets of pilgrimage for people who missed the glory days.
