Why do we still care what day Hitler's birthday is, after more than half a century since his death? Over the course of history many awful leaders have been born; Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Zedong, Pol Pot, Bin Laden, Mussolini, Genghis Khan, Vlad III, and many, many more, if we were to put a black mark on all of those birthdays as well we'd be totally screwed, unable to celebrate half the days of the calendar year. So why single out Hitler's birthday as particularly awful?

Agreed. Although I'd also question why people know when his birthday is in the firstplace? Like, why care about something like that?

Nice.....I know David Letterman's birthday too. Don't even have to look it up. Same with Hitler's.

So, I like The Simpsons, and there was an episode, about, 15-20 years ago where Homer was trying to remember Marge's birthday, and ran through a few other birthdays he did know, one being his friend Barney. Homer says to himself "Barney's is April 20th, same as Hitler".......I guess I care about it because it was a funny, off-hand remark from a character I liked.
