London July 26, 1994

To: Letters Editor,
The Times

Sir,

We can only sympathise with Mr Bernard Levin‘s censure (Jul. 26) of the heartless exhibition of personal effects retrieved from the Titanic — the bric à brac and trivia of those who died in that tragedy.

I understand that there are similarly ghoulish displays at a site in Poland and on the Mall in Washington, and I wonder if he would condemn those too?

Yours sincerely

David Irving
