A Nazi museum will soon be opened in Namur, Belgium, for an exhibit of a private collection of Nazi war relics. The conception of such a museum has been contested by the National War Invalid’s Social Work Association, which believes that the exhibition could be misinterpreted by young visitors who did not know Nazism during the war.
The Association has made a formal request to the ministries concerned with historical and artistic affairs, in order that measures be taken to ensure that the museum shows the Nazi period in the proper light. The group has also proposed to bring its own contribution to the museum, in the form of films and still photographs of resistance movements and concentration camps.
