Results: Controversial Items Sold At Antique Store
Published on 05/28/2018
A jewish couple living in Halifax were shocked to find an antique store that carried badges and medals marked with swastikas. When they confronted the salesperson, their response was that the items are part of history. The couple believe the items should be removed and placed in a museum. The store owner of the store has commented, "Those items are reminders of a very difficult time in our world history [...] And yes, history is complicated, and sometimes it's offensive and uncomfortable. I do not feel history should be censored." What do you think?
