Auction for sale of Holocaust objects criticized in Germany

An auction in Germany for the sale of Holocaust-related items has been criticized by the International Committee of Auschwitz (IAK). This was reported on November 16 by the Deutsche Welle (DW) radio station (recognized in Russia as a foreign media agent).

The Felzmann auction house in Neuss, Germany, wants to sell 632 documents and objects that belonged to the victims of the Holocaust, including the collection of documents "System of Terror. Volume II", which contains letters from concentration camp prisoners, as well as Nazi criminals, is indicated in the publication.

"Documents related to the Holocaust belong to the families of the victims. They should be displayed in museums and memorial exhibitions, and not turned into goods," DW reports the words of IAK Vice Chairman Christoph Heubner in his Telegram channel.

He called the auction a "cynical and shameless event" and called on Felzmann to cancel the auction, thereby "showing decency."

On August 31, Reuters reported on the desecration of the Holocaust memorial in France. In Lyon, the inscription "Free Gaza" was inscribed on the memorial, they were engraved on a black marble stele.

Later, on October 29, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Russia's alleged involvement in the desecration of the Holocaust memorial in France, said on October 29 that the accusations should be supported by evidence.
