Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - India’s Hitler-themed restaurant draws fire

The restaurants idea for standing out amongst the other local eateries is a very simple but extremely affective. It stood out so much that the it drew so much negative attention, the name has been changed.

The people who experienced the horror of World War II by it directly effecting their lives, or the people they knew and cared for, most likely still have strong feelings against the thought or image of Adolf Hitler. This animosity is completely understandable, but if a restaurant cannot publicly display the memory of him, does it outrage the same people by knowing that his memory still exists. His memory does live on. It lives within things such as: many fiction and non-fiction novels, and textbooks in public schools, probably world wide, as an undying hatred in some, and an understanding and acceptance in others.

Adolf Hitler's memory and the impression left in this world will take generations to deflate, but hopefully never be forgotten. The atrocities against mankind that were directed under his will should never be forgotten. Less, we may find ourselves under the direction of a ruler who has convinced the masses of a better life in the future he sees.

Hitler's Crossing could have been a place of discussion amongst diners about how one mans thoughts influenced their lives in a multitude of ways. It could have even been used as a place for people to be strongly reminded of the times they experienced who had still not fully recovered. Possibly, finding others who experienced similar experiences, and maybe learn how they were able to accept their past.

The anger expressed by this people is ridiculous if they stop at pressing to have the name of the restaurant changed. May they be as prominent in their beliefs that his name be stricken not only from the restaurant, but from every form of written communication in this world. If that were to occur, let something save us from them having the motivation to strike it from our memories as well.

Wouldn't that be atrocious.
