Is there something wrong with buying or selling pieces of history from time periods and events that should not be remembered? When you teach younger people about historic tragedies sometimes having a piece to display from that period can make it sink in so much deeper and it encourages questions and conversation that I think are vital to keeping history from repeating itself. Words in a book, lectures from a teacher, or photos do not have the safe affect of being able to touch, see, and feel an object that was THERE.
Opinions please....
