One thing This is an emotionally charged topic. The big problem seems to be the question of motive. This is very hard to discern in someone else. Is it a too-morbid fascination, or just someone interested in rarities? Some people collect Egyptian artifacts, yet we know that these people were very bad as well, keeping slaves, killing the Hebrew children because of worries about their population growth and a possible uprising, etc. So how far back do you go? My opinion is that I will not collect such things, but will assume that the people who do are interested in the rare or historical aspects rather than the Nazi aspect. IF the person is a neo-Nazi type this will come out during the course of a conversation with them anyways. ./patrick
