Holy crap, somebody burned down Hitler's Eagle's Nest.
I wish this were a metaphor for the destruction of fascism, but unfortunately, the actual museum has been lost.

I can sympathize with the sentiment, but I wish whoever did this would have put that daring into direct action against current Nazis who are still harming people.
As for the site itself, I can't know for sure, never having been there. But my understanding is that it wasn't romanticized like southern plantations, in which case I would say it had value. Don't get me wrong, when Nottoway plantation burned, I cheered. But this site wasn't about erasing atrocities.
@MaryAustinBooks Like all of these sites, the Germans typically do a good job creating the appropriate historic context and I'm sure this was a very good museum. But there were certainly a lot of people going up there because they just wanted to see Hitler's old vacation place.
Fuck that. They can go look at one of the concentration camps. It is VERY educational and thoroughly clears up a lot of doubts about the historic truth of what the Nazis did.
@MaryAustinBooks That’s fine and it’s good that it’s gone. If anyone misses that museum they can always visit one of the concentration camp sites.
