You tell me which is more popular.

New Okay
Based on that search, Nazi memorabilia is more popular with 38, 200 hits. But I never heard of a Shoah which gives 1,570 hits.

However a search on Holocaust Memorabilia turns up 22,600.hits. and one on Jewish Memorabilia turns up 60,300 hits.

It depends on what words you use, really.

I myself have German and Nazi war memorabilia, but I also have American, French, British, and Italian. I was unable to procure any Russian at the time.

I don't know if I have any Holocaust stuff, but I wasn't trying to get any, just originally, the miltary stuff. I almost owned a flag taken from the top of the French Embassy in France when the Americans liberated it, which was signed by all the liberators, but my mom refused to allow me to purchase it.

So it's a matter of opinion. But don't get me wrong, OWNING memorabilia from WWI and Nazi Germany, (mostly I have money and a few other little things like an Iron Cross), does not in any way, shape or form mean I honor them, venerate Hitler, or hold high respect. It was just part of a collection I was amassing at the time.

Edit: I also do not know that I would consider the Internet a good judge of popularity or respect of a given concept or thing.
