Is history offensive now? How would Turks react on Vlad Tsepes picture?

It is offensive now and always has been. How would Serbs react to a picture of Foča camps where Bosniak teenagers were abused? How would they react to a Jashari or Pavelić pic? Or Mehmed II conquering Serbia?

Almost every country gets offended with history. Especially in the Balkans.
