Habe das heute auf einem Brocki-Markt (Antiquitätenmarkt) gesehen. Wie werden Nazi-Erinnerungsstücke in der breiten Schweizer Öffentlichkeit wahrgenommen? Ich komme nicht von hier und habe so etwas noch nie gesehen.

    1. I was perusing a brocki market in Bern and saw all this nazi memorabilia. It was locked up but I was curious about how popular it is to collect such items. Is it seen as taboo?

    2. Warily, if I go into someone’s home and I see anything similar, i’d probably be suspicious of them.

      Interesting how the VW logo on this, presumably it‘s a sticker, Beetle branded item, in the bottom left corner, looks remarkably similar to the one they use currently.

      As a German, I see this in foreign countries as okey-ish. Like Motörhead’s Lemmy collecting this stuff.
      If you are German yourself, I would be more than suspicious.
      Since the Switzerland is known for it’s neutralitiy, I would react neutral to this. 🤷‍♀️

    5. I used to have a customer whose flat was full of NS memorabilia.

      Apparently he also earned a pretty penny trading them online.

      Funnily enough, one time I was working there he had a friend and her daughter over for a visit. Somehow their talk at some point was about some situation with a Turkish woman the two (mother & daughter) had when doing groceries. I don’t know exactly what it was about but I remember being astonished how ultra politically correct the Memorabilia-guy was in that talk, basically sheltering the Turkish woman from blame. Obviously I have expected the contrary, considering the decoration of his flat.

      That’s part of human history and someone could be interested as collector.

      If someone has something like this at home and nothing else, well that’s sus. But objects alone are part of some human history we must not forget.

      Being nazi is illegal but remembering about the existence of nazism is a duty.

      I mean from a historical point of view it’s interesting – stuff like chocolate with methamphetamine and aesthetics of the 30s in general. But people who buy and collect it often don’t do it for the historical value, so I would be careful around people who express too much interest in things with a swastika on it.

    8. What is it with the random PEZ among the Nazi stuff? Is there something wrong with PEZ that I‘m not aware of?

    9. When travelling AUS I wanted to buy a car and one of the potential sellers I was in contact with asked my for to trade NS memorabilia. He kind of just assumed I was into that shit just because I had an accent. I chose not to do trades with that guy obviously

      I’d be suspicious of people owning stuff like that. I don’t believe that people trading or possessing such memorabilia necessarily align with NS values, nor is it illegal, but it’d still make me uncomfortable.

    11. For sure it’s sus when someone has that many nazi memorabilia, but it’s not inherently wrong. Maybe grandpa passed away, and they found these in his belongings.

      As a car nut I would love to have that KDF-Wagen thing though. It’s one of the earliest artifacts of the world’s biggest automaker.

      It isn’t illegal but if you buy or sell it I sure as hell will avoid you

    13. If I saw this in a house I’d talk to them. Chances are they see it as a historical collectibles. It really matters how they talk about it.
      The sanest thing would be if they are interested in literature and want to understand the rhetoric which worked for that time and lead to the mess we got.
      Less sane would be reading it because pf the „interesting, constructive ideas“.
      And least sane would be talking about how they did well removing the foreigners and wishing „insert todays foreign group“ was gone.

      Seen things like that at multiple brockis. Don’t see any issue with it.

      You’re allowed to sell it unless it’s being used for propaganda reasons.

      As long as it’s not used to propagate the ideology those are historical pieces that need to be preserved. Not only for their historical value but also as memorial pieces to warn and educate future generations on the errors of our collective pasts so they never ever are repeated.

      Tearing down statues, burning flags and books isn’t the way, using them as an example for the darkest parts of our history so we never go back there is what we should do.

      FYi: My family’s home was first invaded by the Nazis and later by the Soviets, a lot of my people suffered for almost half a century. I don’t want this to ever be forgotten.

      I mean, do you know Dragonman‘s on YouTube. This guy has literally anything

    17. Longjumping_Sky_6440 on

      Idk man, got a buddy who collects it. I get it but still kind of borderline.

    18. Unslaadahsil on

      I think it’s okay so long as we keep them as object of historical significance and remember that the nazi ideology brought the death of millions of people and shouldn’t be admired.

      Just a personal opinion.

    19. For me, it’s really tricky. In my humble opinion, that kind of stuff belongs into a museum. Although it can also be some kind of revenge from family members of one who’s been murdered by the regime…you know kind of „you killed my loved one but in your tumb I own you“ thing going on and that was passed on through inheritance which they didn’t want…as all of it is heavy.

      Some history buffs might be interested in the history of those objects just for the history.

      Also, it is still a possibility that, since there wasn’t any denazification campaign through Switzerland, it would have been transmitted from ancestors who ruled for the nazis…and since french speakers both in Switzerland and in France didn’t see „themselves“ as for the French or their „bigger brother“ for the western Swiss acting this disgusting way, they have another relationship to that kind of stuff compared to German and Italian speakers.

      Without context, it’s really hard to know…

      Also, owning that kind of stuff isn’t illegal per se…
