Many on this site rightly or wrongly criticise the Daily Mail, but surely everyone should now congratulate the Sunday Mail on their investigation into this vile trade of Holocaust memorabilia ?

aog, no, it's not necessarily difficult to track down an eBay seller. Tracking down traders who are not on eBay will be trickier, and I'll be interested to see if they're prepared to continue investigating. I'm also talking about buyers as well as sellers, though the former may have worthy reasons for purchase.
Incidentally, the Daily Mail is not the Mail on Sunday. It was the Mail on Sunday's editor who offered an apology over his paper's actions re Ralph Miliband. It's a mistake to assume they're exactly the same.

eBay is a market place, not a trader. It does not profit from Holocaust memorabilia, it profits from giving other people a stall to sell their own possessions. They are of course at liberty to ban any products from sale in their market place and have now done so; perhaps they should have inspected the relevant stalls earlier. But they are not a shop like Amazon and aren't selling these things themselves.
AOG, Simon Wiesenthal does not speak for all Jews. He may find it flat out disgusting, and no Jew finds what these articles represent as anything other than disgusting. And that is why Jews would buy them; it is 'lest we forget'. Are you telling us that that does not and will not happen ? There is logic to it.

//What will the Mail do when the same items are offered by an auction house? //
Someone will have to detach from their computer and leave the building to actually research the story, shock, horror. Mileage, lunch, phone calls, expenses claim. Actual copies will have to be sold just to make the story break even. :-/

. erm I am surprised no one has pointed out - that the red triangle means Political Prisoner and I dont see why their uniforms should not be sold on.
While I am at it, the three prisoners in the black and white photo arent wearing stars of David - and I just wondered if their triangle were pink (homosexual) or green. One pink triangle is known to have survived by the way.
and finally the kid selling armbands - that has to be Warsaw doesnt it? as the only place with blue and white armbands.
altho I agree that if you google warsaw ghetto badges, quite a catch from eBay comes up

Steve, what is to be done with us, and where do you "draw the line" if at all ?
I have a lot of Titanic stuff, including the last missive of a sailor who drowned. I have a letter by Haigh, the "acid bath murderer" in which he is covering up the fact that he has just murdered two people and dissolved their bodies in a vat of acid. Now, what is the provenance of those ? They are of interest, just as the holocaust stuff is.
