Why don't ?

[piece-itpete]

I heard a blurb on NPR news yesterday that a guy has one of the human skin lampshades from a camp.

I don't know how he got it, and I don't know which camp, because I missed the start of the story. However this guy has tried to give it to among other holocaust museums the one in DC.

They will not take it. DC told him it's a myth, and you can't prove it's human anyway! They can't prove it's human?

For the record this stuff nauseates me. It used to make me angry, now it makes me ill, sometimes on the very border of upchucking. You'd think you'd develop a kind of tolerance for it, as you read more and more. It just gets worse and worse.

But it's important! I'm shocked that DC would dismiss it out of hand.

I've been there twice, the first time the temporary exhibit. At the time it was about the liberation of the camps. Leaving, men were quiet and some women were even crying. The regular exhibit, folks came out like any other museum for the most part which I considered a failure of sorts.
