Just take this very website - whenever somebody posts some coin from Nazi Germany here, there will usually be a long discussion about the regime, its symbols, etc. Have not really read anything new in those topics, so I just try to not post there, but it seems that period is just too ... fascinating? Hard for me to find a suitable word.</p><p><br /></p><p>What will happen in a couple of centuries, we don't know of course. But while I find it quite strange when people reduce German history to those twelve years, it would be terrible if over here we did the contrary and focus on everything except those years. Fortunately a lot has been and will be done to not forget. Auschwitz, for example, is a Unesco World Cultural Heritage site - and certainly not because it is so beautiful there. In Germany, there are plans to make Buchenwald (see this GDR coin from 1972) one. I have always found it interesting that this camp was right next to Weimar, city of Goethe and Schiller so to say, which already is a Unesco site ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
