Would you hang this in your house?

Well, actually if I was so inclined to hang this sort of thing in my home (which I’m not!) then yes I would. It is family history, I’m assuming she didn’t offer CPR to Hitler himself sending him on his way with a ‘high five’ and telling him to ‘go get em’, and was, as you’ve written, offering first aid to injured enemy soldiers. No, different to medics giving treatment to terrorists/murderers/rapists.

I love history, and this medal and certificate is history whether people like it or not.

No, never on the wall but then not much makes it onto my walls. Family history is interesting, the Hitler stuff, well but I'd just not hang a medal on the wall regardless.

Yes I’d hang it up, she saved lives

It does. Everyone should know the history of Hitler and the Nazi party.
The only people who would hang such memorabilia would be supporters of both. And that assumption and impression given would be strong.
To say you do not understand why anyone would be offended is a joke surely? Or are you very ignorant ? Or a Nazi sympathiser. To man who murdered millions, gassed children, tortured many, experimented on them, disabled people of all nationalities and religions.
But you cannot understand why anyone would be offended. Such attitudes in themselves offend.

A nurse shouldn’t discriminate or deny medical treatment for moral reasons. She was a good nurse and it’s an amazing piece of history . I would hang it somewhere , but maybe not anywhere where people could see it without knowing the context.

Its kind of like a thank you certificate? Historically fascinating

she saved Germans not all Germans were nazis and not all nazis are German

I’d offer it to a museum or something. It’s neither of your medal to hang no matter whether it’s to taste or not

No, there’s lots of things you can hang and display in your home but this one is a little too contentious. I would keep it, but not display it. I don’t display things like that anyway tbh. Maybe if I did collect and display lots of things all together then I might display it with all the other things. But as a standalone show piece then no.

Not something I would hang anywhere. By doing so it will give the impression you are fans of Hitler.
So no. Many would find it distasteful. I am putting that politely.
And would not need to even ask.

I'd hang it. It's interesting and could lead to some good conversations. It's not showing support for Hitler or the Nazis and I don't understand why anyone would be offended.

I am sure they would be distraught to loose someone with your attitude 😂

I'd not want to read that name every day. You could maybe cover the name part with a photo of the relative?

Certificates on display in a home usually relate to someone who lives in that home I am not sure that's true at all?
some people like history.

Some families display achievements and memories going back hundred of years. It's not a modern concept.

If you prefer a clean and minimalist home, nothing wrong with that at all, but (speaking in general) it's can't be that surprising that any others have a lot of family history in their home.

She helped injured people? Yes. I would put it up. And explain the history for guedts.

It's a fascinating piece of history and the relative wasn't helping Nazi Germany, she was saving lives as was her calling as a nurse. But I don't think many people would get past the prominent signature of Adolph Hitler. I mean, you know. It would be like a certificate with Jimmy Saville's signature on it. It might be for the most virtuous of deeds but few people are going to consider that. It also depends how many visitors you have and how much time you want to devote to explanations.

Why on earth would you want to display your family's recent affiliation with N*zis? I'm genuinely surprised that you're asking. I would literally never speak to my friend again if I found this kind of thing displayed in their house 😳

Certificates on display in a home usually relate to someone who lives in that home, or has done in the past. Where is the point of displaying the achievement of someone who is presumably no longer alive and has never lived there?

Perhaps British people should stop wearing the poppy publicly then, to avoid causing offence to their historical enemies?

I think it's bizarre that some people are so frightened of "what will people say" they make it the only thing that matters in their life.

Thinking about it, I have seen war artefact in many houses (more older than younger people to be fair), and I don't believe they created any outrage. Surely they attract curiosity and a discussion, it's just a part of history. In many countries, most families have family members who were victims of the nazis. It doesn't mean it's a provocation or an insult not to hide something like the OP's frame.

You'd think someone put a framed selfie with Putin in their living room before inviting Ukrainien friends. Not exactly the same is it

if you have an opinion then just do what you want to do.

yes I agree with the needing to explain thing and that could just get tedious. I'd offer it to either the London War Museum or is there a museum local to where she lived who might like it? Failing that I'd put it away carefully. If you are going to dispaly it, do keep it out of direct sunlight as that can damage such things.

I might but in in downstairs loo aas a conversation point provided I had no likely guest who relatives were prisoners of war or slaughtered by the Nazis. But in preference I would maybe donate it to a war museum or your local museum where you DH relative came from.. Museums often have ' Xxx town at war exhibitions, so this might make an nteresting item

No jewish friends confirmed.

did you even read my post?

First my jewish friends are a lot smarter than many posters on here, and don't get randomly offended.

It takes very narrow-minded people to be frightened like that or feel the need to hide anything that could be remotely "embarrassing'. How is a nurse saving people embarrassing exactly?

I also said that I would obviously not make it a focal point above their bed if they were staying.
