Hi Everyone,
Not sure if this post belongs here or not but I came across something disturbing on ebay.
WW2 Concentration Camp Uniform COMPLETE - eBay (item 130460950041 end time Dec-11-10 08:24:53 PST)
Now, it could very well be a fake, or a reproduction made for a film, but the person seems to be selling it as an original. The seller does seem to be aware of the historical significance of the uniform, so we can't fault them for that.
I was just curious what everyone's opinion is on something like this? Personally I think that if it is real, it really belongs in a museum and not a private collection. From what I have read, authentic camp uniforms are very rare due to the vast majority of them being burned when the camps were liberated to prevent the spread of disease.
Why an individual would want to collect items associated from such an abomination as the Holocaust is beyond me. I understand it's important to preserve such relics for future study, but I think this is a little too over the top.
Your thoughts?
Cheers!
Tim
