I'm a collector. As many of you have seen on my page, I collect many items from WWII, especially those from Nazi Germany. I do this for several reasons - their rarity, their unique designs, but mostly because they represent a time in human history that is worth remembering. A time when the entire world rose up to fight against a regime that felt it had the right to dominate, subjugate and even exterminate others based on an ideology of intolerance.

I DO NOT collect them because I am sympathetic to the racial or political ideals that this regime stood for. Rather, I want to preserve the memory of what they did so that people NEVER FORGET how easily an otherwise educated society can allow itself to be overtaken by fear, paranoia and hatred.
It's especially important in these polarized times to remember how easy it is for a few charismatic charlatans to use the fear and anger of others to motivate them into performing unspeakable atrocities for the sake of God, King, or Country.

Don't let yourselves be pulled into being the tools of others. Think for yourselves. Question those who tell you to follow, and be sure to listen to the voices of the past.
