Online retailer Amazon pulls range of macabre holiday ornaments featuring images of Auschwitz death camp posted by sellers on its platform.
The items came to light after the Auschwitz Memorial tweeted on Dec. 1, saying that the products did “not seem appropriate” and called on Amazon to remove them.
The seller’s description described the items as “Auschwitz War Camp Prison Christmas Ornament,” and described them as “the ideal city souvenir to commemorate and share the cities you have visited.” One of the items featured the inscription “Krakow, Poland.” The Auschwitz complex is approximately 40 miles from Krakow.
Several users said that they had contacted Amazon to attempt to have the products removed. The products were not sold directly by Amazon, but by a third-party seller with the username Fcheng. It later tweeted identifying products offered on the Amazon platform by another seller featuring images from Auschwitz, and calling for their removal. The items in question were a mouse pad featuring a watchtower outside a barbed wire fence and a rail car it said was used to deport Jews for extermination.
