While I agree with you in principle, normalizing Hitler also runs the risk of making him look less reprehensible. And there are certainly some good reasons why we don't want Hitler to look socially acceptable.

Additionally, it avoids some potentially unpleasant issues surrounding the confusion as to *why* somebody chose to pose with a wax statue of Hitler, since people would choose to read into that as an endorsement of Hitler (and, outside of Thailand, nobody wants him as a mascot) and it could normalize support for Hitler. Granted, there certainly is a balancing act because making him into some great unnameable being at least partly venerates him and makes him look appealing to those susceptible to his ideologies.
