An auction of Holocaust artifacts in Germany sparks outrage over selling genocide-era items.

An auction in Neuss, Germany, featuring Holocaust-era artifacts like Star of David badges, survivor letters, and forced sterilization records has drawn widespread condemnation from the International Auschwitz Committee and the Fritz Bauer Institut. They called the sale "cynical and shameless," urging auction house Felzmann to cancel it, arguing such items belong to victims’ families and should be preserved in museums, not sold for profit. The event, titled "The System of Terror Vol. II," includes personal documents and Nazi propaganda, sparking ethical concerns over commodifying genocide history. The auction house has not responded.
