Deb Hart: Holocaust Centre Chair voices concerns with Canterbury museum's World War II display

View descriptionShare

There's concerns from some that a Canterbury museum's displayed World War II Nazi artefacts without context. 

Geraldine’s Military Museum showcases tanks and machinery of war, alongside a Nazi flag and mannequins wearing the uniforms of Hitler’s elite bodyguard.

It welcomes visitors to partake in an Nazi re-enactment - to display 'both sides' the war. 

Holocaust Centre Chair Deb Hart says without much context, it's harmful to uninformed people. 

"You do have an obligation to help people understand what it is that they are looking at. Otherwise, you risk glorifying something that was terrible in our history."
