Would you buy a painting by Adolf Hitler?

I saw on the local news yesterday that there was going to be an auction of paintings by Adolf Hitler when he was young. They were not very good watercolours. Apparently he wanted to be an artist, but was told he wasn't good enough, which to be honest seemed to be the case. I would feel horrible to just touch them, and the thought of actually buying one made me feel ill. Would you want to buy one?

No way. Why would anyone in their right mind want to pay for something that was created by someone who was so evil to so many people. The best thing to do would be to burn the pictures that he created.

That is what I would do with them, but some people would say that that would be destroying a part of history I suppose.

Parts of history which are valuable in some way should be kept. Any paintings by Adolf are anything but valuable and I cannot understand anyone else thinking any different.

I wouldn't buy pictures of bad quality, even they were made by a better person than that dictator. I think there're still some extremists or crazy men who will buy those paintings, but I hope the earning will be donnated to the victims of Fascism or to an anti-racism organization.

I doubt very much that the earnings would be donated.
