Madame Tussauds opened a new branch in Berlin this month to be welcomed by an abrupt protest. The second man to enter the wax museum allegedly tore the head off of an Adolf Hitler figurine on its opening day. German police arrested the 41-year-old man after two employees at the museum unsuccessfully tried to prevent him from jumping over a table that was in front of the wax figurine.
Within a matter of seconds, the man had tore off the head of the controversial figure. The man claimed that he was protesting against the display, but he has been arrested and is now facing "investigation on suspicion of causing damage to property and bodily harm," said a police spokesman.
The Hitler figure has been removed from the new museum, however it won't be decided until Monday what to do about the display. Though its presence causes a controversy and much criticism, Hitler's role in German history will not be forgotten. The museum aimed to portray the former German leader in a way that would not glorify him, going through such extremes as not allowing visitors to "touch, photograph, or pose with" it, however it is clear that including this display in the museum was upsetting to some.
Would it upset you to see a lifelike sculpture of a notorious leader or would you just consider it a part of history? Was this a poor mistake made by the museum or did the visitor go too far with his actions? Where do we draw the line between the truth and what people prefer to hear?
