Mengele stuff up for auction.

Do you think the buyer(s) will remain anonymous?. People really take offence at this sort of thing. Dont people buy nice things like stamp collections anymore?.

You make your point very well, Errata, but I agree with Stan. Original documents should never be destroyed. BTW, do we know what language they're written in---German, Spanish, Portuguese?

[Errata]

I'm not for any form of book burning because sometimes something can be learned from even the worst things that we may not realize at this time. Even if nothing can be ever be learned, it's still evidence. I was against the attention seekers who bought up and burned Gacy's paintings. That really helps doesn't it?

I don't think the notebooks should be destroyed because they are inherently evil, or immoral or anything. I think they should be destroyed because I don't think that people should profit off of death and wholesale destruction. I don't even care if someone copies every word and puts it online for posterity. But as long as the originals exist, they will be sold for higher and higher amounts to collectors who want to own a piece of the most morally impoverished man in the world. It isn't the knowledge contained in the notebooks I want to suppress. I don't want the equivalent of a Willie Mays rookie card to exist for the Third Reich.

The best idea would be for Mengele's son to make some money by selling them to the highest bidder.

Hello all,

this came up on the Sky News website.. I have a feeling it might be discussed a tad, all over the world.

Personally, I feel these notes should be put together in book form and all proceeds go the the Holocaust charities. That's just my view.

Your views?

best wishes

If these were journals of his medical experiments I would be a little torn on this, but as they are not... I think they should be handed over to Israel to examine the contents for clues to whereabouts of other Nazi war criminals and then burned.
