Yes I agree they are still historically relevant I haven't disputed that at all, whether these are removed from public consciousness is subjective. Should nations have to live in the shadow of past dictators as their tyranny dominated a shared past?

I never said you did. I'm discussing the topic of the thread and this story.
As for living in the shadow of the past. Personally I don't see it that way. But a counter argument would be the present is an amalgamation of the past that should not be forgotten and in some cases humanity has learned from.
