Amazon pulls Auschwitz-themed Christmas ornaments
Amazon has withdrawn a range of "Christmas ornaments" displaying images of a former concentration camp that sellers had posted on its website.
The move followed a tweet from Poland's Auschwitz Memorial calling on the retailer to remove the "disturbing and disrespectful" merchandise.
It included Christmas tree decorations, a bottle opener and a mouse-pad.
All displayed scenes from the Nazi death camp where mass killing was conducted in World War Two.
The Christmas merchandise featured images from Auschwitz including the railway line leading to its infamous gates, the barbed wire fences and the buildings where it housed victims - mainly Jews.
No doubt this will ruin Christmas for the many right-wing posters on here. Their tree will look bare without the themed decorations. What sort of people need a holocaust bottle opener?
