Holocaust items auction draws outrage in Germany - The Times of India

An auction house in western Germany has come under fire for selling items that belonged to Holocaust victims, including worn Stars of David and personal documents. The International Auschwitz Committee has condemned the auction, calling it 'cynical and shameless,' and urged the Felzmann auction house to cancel the event. Critics argue that these historical artifacts should be preserved in museums or memorial sites rather than sold for profit. The auction, titled 'System of Terror Vol II,' features documents from 1933 to 1945, including Nazi propaganda, records of forced sterilizations, and personal belongings of survivors.
