    There’s such a thing as ‘Erinnerungskultur’ in Germany, in which it’s considered important to remember the history so we don’t repeat it.

    Otherwise this place has been basically a restaurant for years that doesn’t really capitalize on the historical aspect iirc.

      Real talk, you don’t casually pop out for dinner to hitlers remote mountain bunker that has been converted to a restaurant. That is a very specific, politically filtered clientele.

        I also wanna say that I -as a communist- would’ve also gone there because of the historical associations, because I’m fascinated by history and enjoy the idea of “[person] was here [x] years ago”, like when I visited the place John Lennon got shot.

          I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t care how good the food or view is at mar-a-lago after the American dictator dies, I don’t think I’d enjoy patronizing it.

          I wouldn’t have had this perspective 5 years ago, but the world is not trying to conceal its evils any more.
