Nazi memorabilia for sale in online New York auction

Nazi memorabilia has been offered for sale in an online auction in Brooklyn, New York. 

Items available for purchase in the “estate liquidation auction” held by Antique Arena include Nazi propaganda posters, Ghetto Police armbands, the yellow Star of David badges that Jewish people were forced to wear by the Nazis, and a canister of Zyklon B, a toxic gas used to murder millions of Jewish people in Nazi death camps. 

Separately the British auction house Christie’s has recently been condemned by Jewish groups for announcing the sale in New York of Nazi-linked jewellery, originally purchased with money made at the expense of Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The sale, which is estimated to be worth equivalent to £118 million, is for charity.
