I think that if collections like these are not accessible - and most museum collections are not - people will forget. If they are "edited" and limited and manipulated by politics, the truth will eventually die. When the facts are there to be seen the truth can't die. His collection should be front and centre in a museum, but there are some incredibly unpleasant items there and most people don't want to see what our species is capable of, so it isn't. If he donated it all to a museum, they wouldn't display it - they'd catalogue it in an archive and it would never see the light of day. That's how we forget history, and that's how we repeat it. Ask the average 17 year old about Nazis and WW2 and all you'll get is a bewildered look and probably a reference to Donald Trump.
