The Simon Wiesenthal Center, which fights anti-Semitism, wants online auction house eBay to cancel the auction of an "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign, touted as "similar to the one in Auschwitz," which was stolen last week and cut up before it was found, according to Yeshiva World News.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said in a statement from Jerusalem, "The denigration of the victims of Nazi Holocaust continues unabated – from Iran's Holocaust-denying president, to thieves who stole the actual sign from the Auschwitz death camp.” He added, "eBay, one of the world's most powerful marketing tools, has a moral obligation to remove this callous 'auction' item by someone using the call letters of the SS seeking to cash in on last week's criminal act at Auschwitz."
