I am recreating this project (for historical preservation reasons) as it was taken down by scratch, for displaying the "Schutz Staffel" insignia. I cannot change the things that occurred during those bloody years, it is not my place to speak for the millions that died in World War 2. As my grandfather told stories of his time in the German Army he said, "Those people, young and old alike were brainwashed by the leader's vision and his dream of a powerful German Empire. The leader's voice was powerful and confident... The ones who died, believed in their leader, for what they thought was right. We cannot blame them, as they were blinded by him."
I have never nor will ever support Nazism, Antisemitism, hate speech against others, or genocide, but what I will always support is history. I cannot erase what my home country did, no one can, but without these struggles, we, as a humanity, cannot grow and learn from our past mistakes.
