Grandson of Holocaust survivors discovers Nazi memorabilia being sold in New South Wales, Australia
The grandson of two Holocaust survivors has discovered a trove of Nazi memorabilia being sold in the Australian state of New South Wales.
Dr. Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, called for the ban of Nazi memorabilia in Australia and said that “If Hitler were alive today, he would be applauding them for glorifying his barbaric crimes and keeping his monstrous legacy alive.”
“This lurid trade has to stop, and I call on all governments to honour the sacrifices of the brave Australian diggers made in defeating Hitler, and to follow the state of Victoria’s lead by planning to legislate and ban the public display of Third Reich symbols,” he added.
In September, Victoria announced that it would become the first Australian state to ban the display of Nazi symbols.
