Dublin auction of Nazi items branded 'tasteless'
9/7/17
The son of a holocaust survivor
has described as "tasteless" a decision by a Dublin auction house to sell Nazi "memorabilia".
Nine items from the Third Reich period are being offered as part of Whyte's The Eclectic Collector auction this weekend, that features more than 500 lots.
Gallery owner Oliver Sears said he thought it was "quite appalling".
Ian Whyte has defended his auction house's decision to sell the items.
They include a Nazi sash, an Anschluss campaign leaflet, a child's helmet and various German army daggers.
Mr Sears has a gallery on the same street as Whyte's on Molesworth Street.
His mother, Monika, survived the Warsaw ghetto. As a child, she was placed on a train to Treblinka, but escaped. A number of other family members died in Auschwitz.
