    Hitler flatware to be included in NYC exhibition

    NEW YORK (AP) — An upcoming New York City exhibition featuring four centuries of sterling silver includes two pieces of flatware that belonged to Adolf Hitler.

    The fork and knife contain the initials A and H. They're among 150 objects from the New-York Historical Society's collection.

    The exhibition opens May 4.

    The museum says it received the flatware in 1946 from the late philanthropist and financier Carl Loeb.

    Loeb got it from an American soldier who was a member of the force that captured Hitler's chalet retreat in 1945.

    The museum says the pieces have never been displayed. It says there hasn't been an exhibition placing them in a historical context until now.

    The museum says it wasn't surprising that Loeb kept the flatware as evidence of Hitler's defeat.

      Is the irony lost on anyone that a Jewish man owns Adolf Hitler's flatware?

        Everything hitler had was stolen from jews. All his homes were stolen from jews shipped off to the death camps. He took some jewish familys flatware and had a h inscribed. Why buy anything when u can have it all for free from all the jews u had put to death. So a jewish man doesnt own hitlers flatware, it was never hitlers to begin with.

        John & oven mitt pooch -

        jews are greedy?? hitler had over 12 million people put to death, not all were jewish. he took their homes, furniture, cars, linen, art, jewelry, silver, china, gold teeth, & then their lives. guess who took all that? you have your "greedy" people
        mixed up.

        i imagine you also don't know about the experimental torture to men, women & children either. i'm certain you don't, because i know that if you did actually know any of this history, you would never, ever, print anything as ignorant as you did.

        did your parents teach hate or did you learn that all by yourself??

      Unless there is a war going on somewhere and in many places the rothschilds cannot charge both sides and create debt --theyve been doing this since time long long ago ---the root of all money is evil and the root of money is the house of rothschilds ..the british royal family is really german lol real name saxe-coburg gotha....britsh queen victoria was german !!!! Wake up people plzzzzz !! ty for reading and dont forget who nato is chiefly comprised of ..even the symbol of nato is actually the swastika drawn cleverly --look that up dont believe im just making this up whatever you do dont look this stuff up because its just conspiracy theory lol lol pray that somebody up high whoever it is comes to humanites rescue because the media destroyed most peoples ability to wake up and see things......by the way who pays that debt??????

      Hitler was a vegan and a teetotaler. He would have made a fine liberal.

      Hopefully, the museum has the original hitler toilet with a picture of adolph in the bowl.
      • Sabazios 3 mths ago
        No an automotive repair shop in New Jersey has his toilet. You can even take a poop in it for a small fee. I hear they have Jewish tp but that could just be a rumor.
