Sometime ago i was watching a documentary (i think it was on the history channel) about the second world war and Hitler and i remember a article from years ago that said Hitler was one of the most searched keyword on the internet (in that point of time), so i started thinking if i had the opportunity to buy or reg the .com domain would i do it.
It was like i was having a intense debate in my head, on the positive side the domain could be used for education, history, i could sell this domain for a good value to the right person (it would have to be someone that would use the domain for good) and much more positive aspects.
But on the negative side it's a controversial domain, it can be used for very negative aspects and i just wouldn't feel comfortable owning it.
I arrived to the conclusion if i had the opportunity to buy Hitler.com i wouldn't unless if there was another buyer/bider that was a Hitler fan and wanted the domain for negative aspects then i would buy the domain just to keep it out of his hands.
If i had the opportunity to hand reg the domain i would, worst case scenario i would let it expire or donate it to a education center or museum or someone that would develop the domain for education purpose keeping it out of bad hands, best case scenario i sell it for a good amount to the right enduser who can and will develop the domain to a history website and educate young and old people so we can learn from the past and maybe create something good from something bad.
I understand there's a big number of people who want to forget the past or just dont care about it but i truly believe there is a even bigger amount of people that want to remember the past, there is a big amount of documentaries on lot's of tv channels about bad people and atrocities of the past and this documentaries have been on tv channels for years so there is a demand for it, there is also a great variate of conspiracies around Hitler from high alien tech to treasures like the holy grail lol.
I love history being the bad or good part of it, history is the road humanity toke to get where we are today it's what defines humanity.
We should never forget the past even the negative aspects because lot's of man, women and children fought and give'd their life's for our men, women, children, mother, father, brother, daughter, son etc.. to live a peaceful live, we should learn from our past.
