Preserving Atrocity

Something that was brought up earlier today during quite an enlightening conversation is the continued existence of Nazi concentration camps in Europe.
The Holocaust has always been quite a touchy subject since it ended it 1945 following the Allied invasion of Germany, and with good reason; over 6 million people (mainly people of Jewish ethnicity) died in those Nazi concentration camps (for anyone who may have put themselves in enough solitude to be unaware of those occurrences), so it's both strange to imagine, as well as seemingly necessary to know that concentration camps such as Auschwitz are being maintained, rather reluctantly, by the charitable donations of the UNESCO World Heritage foundation, as well as both the current German and Polish governments.
Auschwitz, due to the reluctance of the world to permit the continued existence of a place so horrid, is slowly yet surely falling apart.

I believe that camps such as Auschwitz, not just Nazi German concentration camps, but any concentration camps (which includes Pol Pot's Cambodian concentration camps) should be preserved as reminders of what humans are capable of doing to one another if power and greed get enough of a grasp on them.
Places like Auschwitz should remain in existence as to show the world what the German people so willingly permitted within their own borders due to fear and a futile sense of loyalty and patriotism as so the same can never occur again.

People seem to get so wrapped up in their ideologies that they forget what it is to be human, and that seems to happen so often many consider it the norm.
I hardly think that a radical group of white, power-hungry Aryan supremacists seizing control of a democratic government only to point it in the direction of the obviously evil national socialist ideals is acceptable, let alone normal, and I hardly think that governments that begin to single out certain people for no obvious reason, only to ship them off to camps and exploit them to death is acceptable or normal either.

I respect ideologies, but people really need to learn when to abandon them for the sake of human kind.
