This philosophy disturbs me, and reminds me of the rationale for  
censorship in dictatorships and police states. Admitting the  
existence of something.... even referencing it.... does not give it  
legitimacy. Should we remove any reference to nazi germany from our  
history books in order to avoid legitimizing the nazi point of view?

Seems rather absurd to me. Perhaps you disagree.
