They are authenticators and graders of historical artifacts for historical artifacts collectors. What do you think history is made up of, only Mister Rogers and the birth of Lassie?
I worked at a Holocaust Museum, and they owned, displayed and had authenticated Nazi items, including a couple of Hitler trading cards and a Nazi flag. Can a Holocaust Museum exist without displaying Nazi items?
I once asked the head archivist, a 70-something Jewish woman, what she felt about her carefully restoring and cleaning a Nazi flag. She said she saw the irony in it.
