Too difficult to decide what to quote here, but there has been a comparable 
controversy in the USA about whether to remove Confederate statues, statues of 
Confederate leaders and generals who played a big role in the Confederacy 
during the Civil War era.

Governor Matt Bevin of Kentucky didn't want to remove the offending statues 
because that would only serve to sanitize history.  I agree with that viewpoint.

You can't erase history, and NetBSD can't either.  I say to keep the Hitler 
quotes from the viewpoint of opposing censorship.

People need to know about history, including the good and the bad. 

FreeBSD seems obsessed with political correctness.  There was controversy when 
they removed misc/jive from the ports collection.
