To me this holds possible the 20th C form of Holocaust happening again. There has always been the suggestion that a Holocaust memorial is to learn from history - so that it does not happen again. All the Holocaust deniers bang on about how exaggerated the Jewish/others propaganda is, I don't think I have openly heard advocating mass extermination being a good thing, even the Nazi's never did that. I think this theft of a souvenir is probably just that.
