We should study people like Hitler so that we can understand what he was all about. History always repeats itself because we never learn from our mistakes. The more educated we are as a whole, the better the chance we have of not letting another person like him get into power.

Agreed.

While AC Slater`s may be a bit on almost-hero-worship-bordering-on-creepy side, I don`t think trying understand Hitler is a bad idea at all.

I'm in this camp, too. There's a difference between understanding someone and forgiving them or wanting to emulate them.
