Auction of Holocaust items cancelled after outrage DW 11/15/2025

IAC Executive Vice President Christoph Heubner called the auction "cynical and shameless." Heubner said in a statement that the history of Holocaust survivors was "being exploited for commercial gain." "Documents relating to persecution and the Holocaust belong to the families of those who were persecuted," he said. "They should be displayed in museums or in exhibitions at memorial sites and not be degraded to objects of trade."
