Nah. The sculptor was a Freemason and thus the statue is degenerate art. A minor alteration wouldn't change that is was conceived by a deviant mind. And it's a symbol of resistance and evidence of a pre-Reich world. It's gotta go.

[@paxlux5288]

@@Korijenkins1414 Yeah MITHC honestly pushes the Nazis to comic book villain status rather than the villains they actually would be if they won in real life. There's literally no incentive in destroying numerous, highly important, historical artifacts twenty years after the war. Sure, the kids probably won't care since they've been indoctrinated, but most adults would be pissed and it would lead to wider spread rebellion. If it was real life, the Nazis probably would've changed the meaning of "Liberty" to suit their deranged ideology rather than destroying historical artifacts altogether. These scenes were meant to invoke emotion, but it honestly gets to the point where it just seems like evil for the sake of being evil.

A juxtaposition between The Couscous of Rodes and The Statue of Liberty. The Statue of liberty is the subject of the poem and the US is an adoptive mother to exiles. “Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!” America is ideally a classless society taking people from the bottom tanks of whatever society they came from and allowed to become the best version of themselves they can be. An immigrant nation. The golden door is our ports of entry. The New Colossus is a poem about what America can be and what our collective dream is. We may have fallen short of that dream but we can still endeavor towards that dream of a nation made great by welcoming all.
