It is the only concentration camp to be included onto the UNESCO World Heritage list...
It is important for people to remember..
As people keep saying you can't change history... |

I’ve been to Poland, specifically to visit Auschwitz, never knew there were 3 parts to it.
I’ve spent 16 yrs in the military and I’ve travelled the world and served in many conflicts overseas and seen some truly horrific and barbaric things, but very few things have left me so lost for words than my visit and education of what occurred so many years ago in Poland and indeed the other camps the Nazi regime had.
For those who deny the Holocaust, all I would say is take a trip and then tell me “it never happened”.
This is one place and I’m sure there are many others around the world, where they should be preserved as a reminder of mans truly abhorrent actions that shouldn’t be repeated. |

Personally I think it's far more important than that, history should always be studied and taught in schools, no matter how horrific or unpalatable it was, because then you learn not to make the same mistakes. |

Oh look!
Today's false equivalence. 
Nice try, but nobody is suggesting memorials or buildings be pulled down.
They (the Germans) did, however, pull down statues of Hitler. Were they "deleting their history"? |

"Auschwitz.
Perhaps it is a memetic memorial of something that was wrong.
There was every excuse to blow it up.
And the there is wisdom."
The same reason they dont place a statue of Jimmy savile at great ormond st
Auschwitz is a museum not a memorial
Statues are considered respected memorials
I should suggest we consistently assess who we admire and why

Not deleting it no, ashamed of it yes.
But then the same could be said of Great Britain, if you look at our history, there’s plenty to be ashamed of.
What’s important is that we teach our younger generations of the historical fuck ups that mankind has inflicted on his fellow man, in the slightly crazy hope that history will not repeat itself. |

In the same way that it is unthinkable to have a statue depicting Hitler in Germany, it should be similarly unthinkable that we have statues lauding white supremacists directly responsible for enslaving, brutalising, maiming and killing those they felt to be racially inferior here. |

The Jewish community at the time up to now have demanded it never destroyed. As said by others already if you don't remember past errors you never learn from them. Whitewashing things doesn't make problems go away |
