I think this discussion comes down simply to differing points of view. There are no right or wrong opinions here, we have to remember that. It is really just personal perspective. Both sides in World War II committed atrocities. Soviet and Nazi. Nobody is truly innocent on either side. Both sides believed in their hearts and minds they were doing the "right" thing. Every man who fell in the war, on both sides, was somebody's son, brother, father, cousin or best friend. Every person who fell in the war, on both sides, left someone who mourned their loss.
History is written by the victor, is has been said. Well one of our dear members here, from Spain, had a grandfather who served in the Blue Brigade at TS during the War. Luckily his grandfather went home alive and well. I just wonder what this discussion might have been had he been buried in that mass grave.
I'm not taking sides here, honestly. Just trying to put perspective to the discussion. Whether WE like it or not, all of TS museum belongs to the Russian people, it is, after all THEIR patrimony, and we must ultimately respect their decisions about what they do there. All WE can do, is keep that history alive for those who wish to understand it. That's why we are here.
