It is just another stupid decision. Why put it there? It is bound to annoy people? You might as well have an exhibition by some slave trader put up in Africa. It is like the Gross book, why sell it in Poland. People who do controversial stuff think they are brave but they are not, they are stupid.

oh men prima aprilis....

Even if this was a joke, as suggested, then why shouldn't it be exhibited in Poland?

If the items had some kind of link with szczecin, why shouldn't they be shown there? I mean, there are museums to Auschwitz etc... and a Holocaust museum in USA, where there weren't even camps...

Why should an exhibition about AH be so contraversial, it's not like it would be glorifying him, is it? I mean... If I look at a painting by AHJ am I going to start getting a strange urge to raise my right arm and shout "Seig Heil?"

George Takai might disagree on that point :(

''About 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps,"

'By the summer of 1945, there were 425,000 German prisoners living in 700 camps throughout the United States'

Penn Boy, to be fair mate, you can't complain at german soldiers being in camps during the war :)
(besides,like in Britain, by 1944/45 a lot of them were living a very comfortable life,with passes into local towns etc).
Locking up 1st and 2nd generation Japanese American Men, Women and Children for so long and with no recourse to the justice system was bang out of line.

I guess it will sound terribly, but I think that this exhibition would actually attract more people to visit the castle than usually, simply out of curiosity to see something controversial...

That was more of a joke :) There were reports of beatings even killings by their Nazi officers. However they started the war and did much worse things themselves, so i guess they deserved it.

Stupidest thing the Japs ever did was declare war on America.

Nothing special. This poor art won`t change our perception of Hitler in any way.

Poland flush

His water colours are quite pretty. I suppose that plays to the naive idea that people are one dimensional, Hitler painted pretty,if amaturish,pictures and loved his Dogs,still a psycho though.

Agreed, as the actor who played Mr Miyagi spent his childhood in one.

However, I said "Holocaust", which, if some historians are to be believed, you DO have to be Jewish.

Big difference between the internment camps in America and their purpose as opposed to Auschwitz and the like.As for Hitler's art it's

nothing to write home about,But it will draw attention.
