One in particular, the German Resistance Memorial Center, commemorates the members of the German Army who tried to assassinate Hitler in 1944, and is also a memorial to the German resistance in general. Germany doesn't want to forget the Nazi years, and we don't dare forget the Trump years. I like the idea of razing the thing, but I also like the idea of making it into a museum of Trump atrocities and what we did to stop them - our own resistance museum. Erasing Trump's name and evidence of his presidency won't erase the factors that gave him power, which is why we have to remember him. We have a Holocaust museum and the Legacy Museum re: slavery; we need to memorialize the bad things in our history so they don't happen again.
