The Republican billionaire who lavished luxury gifts on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has a collection of Nazi memorabilia at his sprawling home in Dallas, according to reports.
Harlan Crow, the heir to a real estate fortune, also has a garden featuring the statues of some of the twentieth century’s worst dictators.
Crow, 74, has said that he collects the statues because he hates communism and fascism, but his habit caused controversy in 2015 when he hosted a fundraiser at his home on the eve of the Yom Kippur holiday.
A year earlier, a reporter for the Dallas Morning News got a peek at the sculptures of Soviet revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin, Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, and Yugoslav dictator Josip Broz Tito.
In addition to the statues, Crow has a signed copy of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and works by artists Renoir and Monet.
The billionaire also has signed original documents from his heroes, former British Prime Ministers Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill, according to reports.
