Word History
Paraphernalia is a Latin word (from Greek parapherna 'property apart from a dowry'), which in ancient Rome referred to the property retained by a woman after her marriage, excluding that which passed to her husband. In English and Scottish law, until the Married Women's Property Acts (from 1870), paraphernalia specifically denoted a wife's personal belongings such as clothing and jewellery. Through association with small personal belongings the word began to take on its modern meaning in the 18th century.

Nazi memorabilia

Nazi memorabilia are items produced during the height of Nazism in Germany, particularly the years between 1933 and 1945. Nazi memorabilia includes a variety of objects from the material culture of Nazi Germany, especially those featuring swastikas and other Nazi symbolism and imagery or connected to Nazi propaganda. Examples are military and paramilitary uniforms, insignia, coins and banknotes, medals, flags, daggers, guns, posters, contemporary photos, books, publications, and ephemera.

During the Second World War, soldiers from opposing Allied forces often took small items from fallen enemies as war trophies. These and other items from this time period have since been acquired by museums and individual collectors. In Europe museums still regularly receive everyday artifacts from the Nazi era and have to deal with remnants of National Socialism and relics of war and hatred.
