LONDON (AP) - Online auction site eBay has apologized after a newspaper found apparent Holocaust memorabilia, including the clothes of concentration camp victims, being offered for sale.
Britain s Mail on Sunday newspaper said items included shoes and a suitcase from concentration camp prisoners, Star of David armbands that Jews were forced to wear and the alleged uniform of a Polish baker who died in Auschwitz.
EBay said it had removed 30 items from the site and donated 25,000 pounds ($40,000) to a suitable charity.
The company said in a statement that "we don t allow listings of this nature, and dedicate thousands of staff to policing our site and use the latest technology to detect items that shouldn t be for sale. We very much regret that we didn t live up to our own standards."
