Madame Tussauds defends plan to display wax Hitler at new Berlin museum
None
Madame Tussauds on Tuesday defended its decision to include a wax likeness of Adolf Hitler at its new Berlin museum, arguing that it would make little sense to ignore the Nazi dictator's role in German history.
Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit had urged the museum to consider carefully whether to include Hitler and, if it does, to ensure that he not be shown as a "cult figure". In a statement, the museum said that Hitler's rule "stands for an important, though also appalling, turning point in the development of modern Europe." (AP)
