I think we have to remember or stuff will be rerun. Today's actual dangerous madmen are not commonly recognized because people don't know patterns from the past that are being replayed in front of them.
Among things to be learned from Nazi era is "democracy is a dangerous thing". Could you agree with it, remembering how Hitler came to power? But just try quoting that very sentence to anyone: "Democracy is a dangerous thing" - they'll think you're not feeling ok today."evil hasen't a face like it had back in the days..."
I presume you don't mean neither the phenomenal US presidential campaign propaganda Goebbels would be proud of nor the Orwellian European empire emerging at your Swiss footsteps as we speak?
They both scare me and everyone around thinks they're the bright new future."why do we always drag the bad german in the flashlight?"
It is a good question. I think Hitler's damages were extremely widespread, applied to all of Western culture and those who were hurt are better at getting themselves together and keeping the memory alive. As opposed to, say, Ukrainians whom 10 000 000 were starved to death by Stalin in one season. Part of history which rarely anybody in the West even heard of.
