So this wasn‘t some museum which educated people about this cruel part of american history? Because of this es the case, then this is a loss.

FYI in Germany, we don‘t burn down the monuments of our past, because this is the only shit which let‘s us remember how cruel people can be and that this doesn‘t repeat itself.
