No, I would not want to tear down Auschwitz. It has, in fact, been partially restored in order to stand as reminder of man's inhumanity to man - the inhumanity of ordinary, everyday, average men to other ordinary, everyday, average men. But comparing that to Versailles seems like comparing a very big ripe apple to a very tiny apple seed. 95% of people who visit Versailles are not thinking about the social and political consequences of aristocratic greed and royal over-consumption any more than the people who built it were thinking of those things, whereas the people who built and ran Auschwitz knew exactly what they were doing.
