Selling Nazi memorabilia not illegal in Canada, but 'goes against good conscience,' former MP says

"Just to be clear, we do not support Nazism," the statement said. "We have removed the tunic ... It was not our intention to offend anyone."

The centre said it first learned about the item late last week after someone reported it to the Waterloo Regional Police Service.

"There is nothing that a Nazi tunic can teach an individual that they can't learn better from a quality history book, lecture or education session."

Have people lost their minds?

Yeah, they forget thay artefacts can tell a story and give depth that a book cannot.

Also, anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians all use objects from time periods for research. Museums have things on display for context.

Gets dicey with private collections though.
