There is an ongoing discussion online regarding the idea of returning a barrack from the US Holocaust museum to Auschwitz. Here is my breif commentary as to discuss the need to make certain we preserve this artifact of evil and the presence of our own suffering in the past and cement it in our futures.

Torah requires that we maintain a way of life for our people. There is a risk that if we allow this to be returned to a less than stringent community, it may be destroyed or lost.
As well, there are many more people who visit the holocaust museum than there are who visit Auschwitz or other camps.
It is important to preserve the authenticity of a camp, but in light of the fact that this has been moved, I am not going to press one way or the other other than to say that it must be preserved. Also considering I am guessing that this is being maintained indoors, this ensures the survivability. Replacing such a evidence of Criminality in the outdoor location in Poland only ensures its loss in the future.
