summary: An artist drew a series of cartoon-like (pop art) hitler and nazi pieces. He displayed them in his gallery just miles from a nazi death camp. People, mostly jews are pissed.
My take on this is that he should be able to display this art and it should get a LOT of attention. As is briefly mentioned in the article, people forget that this guy got millions of germans to follow him and believe whatever he said. He was not a monster when he did all this, he looked like a really attractive option to the people at the time. Someone who embraced classicly German values. Someone you'd want your daughter to marry. When images portraying him as an attractive individual are banned, we are too likely to fall into the trap of expecting our monsters to LOOK like monsters.
my take at least
