Even if the artifices were the most morally reprehensible things in the world there is still something future people could learn them. In fact, this is escpecially important with artifacts celebrating evil because they remind us not to repeat the same mistakes again.

Considering a good lot of them were placed simply to intimidate black people I think it's safe to say that this part of history in particular doesn't need to be preserved to its fullest extent. Besides, you don't need to save every last statue (especially when they were produced en masse) to tell the story of the South, slavery, Jim Crow, Civil Rights movement, etc.

Should we have destroyed the Concentration Camps after World War 2?

I agree and if you absolutely want to remove them they should be put in museums so they are not forgotten.
