Jewish prisoners' shoes on a beach towel

Whoever made the sale provokes a stir is the official Auschwitz museum in Poland. Speaking to Twitter sales sites, the museum staff wrote: "There is nothing wrong with selling pictures taken at the museum, but it is unthinkable to sell prints on beach towels, shower curtains, bags and bedspreads. It is insensitive to its name."

The publication in the Auschwitz Museum's Twitter account created global resonance, especially in the United States, where many Jews and non-Jews were amazed to discover the shocking products. "Is there one soul on earth who will buy these products?" Asked one of the surfers. Want a shower curtain with a picture of a concentration camp? Did we completely lose our shame? "

A number of surfers wrote angry letters to the site's management. The shoppixel was quick to respond that the store does not promote such content, and that it will work to remove it. FineArtAmerica said they would look into the issue.

@ shoppixels @FineArtAmerica There's nothing wrong with selling images taken at the Memorial. Can you switch off the option of selling them printed on "beach towels", "shower curtains", "bags" or "duvet covers" and other objects that may be considered insensitive & disrespectful. pic.twitter.com/53zhifctcF
