i agree with you niki to an extent, but history is a story of people and their decisions. SHOULD we learn about WWII & the Holocaust without learning about Adolf Hitler? though there are people that end up revering his image and likeness, which is definitely true in this example, I'm not sure if its true to history to act like his ego & self were huge parts of what happened.

examples like how Stalin uprooted Lenin behind his back tho they were close friends

the complexities of heroes & villains even Lincoln as we mentioned paint fuller pictures.

what I do agree with you on is if there's a statue/memorial of "George P. Farmer who died here in virginia killing indians... he built this church too". that shit is not relevant to how we shape our understanding. But General Custer is & how he savagely sought revenge on natives that had nothing to do with his war

do we need to learn about hitlers chidlhood, his forays into art school, his relationships to learn about the holocaust? no, we don't. but it still happens and it absolutely doesn't need to. his picture does not need to accompany holocaust education. pictures of survivors and pictures of the camps and pictures of people IN the camps do. we don't need to humanize people who have committed atrocities.

show me a memorial of Hitler that talks about his passion for art

or are you talking about burning books?

we might need those relationships to understand idk the war???
does it matter that Napoleon was Sicilian & jealous of the french?

i am absolutely talking about burning and rewriting history books that humanize men like Hitler. no, we don't need to know about his fucking marriage to understand the war. what are you even talking about?
