I think I'm fine with that as long as it's properly contextualized. In the cases of statues the history to tell isn't actually about the person the statue is about but rather the context and circumstances of the propaganda campaign that lead to it being built. When you see statues and posters in a Holocaust museum it's in the context of how they were propagandized.

Either way, no way in hell should it be put in a place of honor like a park.
