雙語(yǔ)：納粹大屠殺被害者遺物網(wǎng)上熱賣(mài)(圖) -新概念英語(yǔ)

According to Daily Mail on May 24, 2010, in recent days, several shops and sites collect and sell artifacts from "the Holocaust" (millions of Jews killed by the Nazis). Trades such as bars of soap allegedly made from the fat of Holocaust victims and dolls allegedly cuddled by children in concentration camps are outraging Jewish groups worldwide。

According to the report, earlier this month, a curiosity shop in Montreal, Canada, was condemned by Jewish groups for selling a bar of soap allegedly made from the fat of a victim of the nazi period. The store owner, claimed the soap with a card that said 'Poland 1940' was 'made out of people... the fat of people' and said he believed it was important to display and sell such items in memory of the Holocaust'。

Though the fat used was finally confirmed fake, the director of Montreal's Holocaust Centre, claimed:"They certainly don't help us remember. This is disgusting."

The Jewish Memory website, based in the US, said it collects different samples of badges, armbands, uniforms, patches worn during World War Two in concentration camps and Jewish ghettos。

The site currently has an 'extremely rare Jewish Holocaust wood doll from Auschwitz' for sale at $2,500 (￡1,700). It also offers a pair of wooden clogs allegedly worn by a prisoner at the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany for $5,000 (￡3,400)。

Another website, currently offers ghetto work permits, arrest warrants and money. Most of the ghetto Jews in occupied Poland were killed。

A principal of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Centre in Israel said, "I think that there's something, it kind of cheapens the memory of all that, the significance, by turning it to something commercial."

據(jù)《每日郵報(bào)》24日?qǐng)?bào)道，近日一些商店及網(wǎng)站公開(kāi)收購(gòu)和出售納粹大屠殺被害者遺物，“人油肥皂”、被害兒童的娃娃等類(lèi)商品熱銷(xiāo)。世界各大猶太人團(tuán)體對(duì)此表示憤怒。

據(jù)報(bào)道，本月初，猶太人團(tuán)體譴責(zé)加拿大蒙特利爾的一家古董店出售“人油肥皂”。古董店的老板宣稱(chēng)，店里一塊標(biāo)有“波蘭1940”的肥皂是納粹黨用大屠殺受害者尸體上的脂肪制作的，而他銷(xiāo)售此類(lèi)商品是為了“紀(jì)念納粹大屠殺”。

雖然這塊肥皂后來(lái)被證實(shí)為贗品，蒙特利爾大屠殺紀(jì)念中心的負(fù)責(zé)人仍然表示，此類(lèi)商品非常惡心，對(duì)紀(jì)念死難者一點(diǎn)幫助都沒(méi)有。

一家總部位于美國(guó)的猶太人紀(jì)念網(wǎng)站公開(kāi)向歐洲各國(guó)網(wǎng)民收購(gòu)來(lái)自二戰(zhàn)集中營(yíng)的袖標(biāo)、制服等物品并在網(wǎng)上出售。

這家網(wǎng)站目前在售的商品包括一個(gè)標(biāo)價(jià)2500美元的“極其稀有的屬于奧斯威辛集中營(yíng)被屠殺兒童的木頭娃娃”和一雙標(biāo)價(jià)5000美元的德國(guó)集中營(yíng)囚犯穿過(guò)的木鞋。

另一家網(wǎng)站則出售納粹黨向猶太人聚居區(qū)發(fā)放的工作許可證、逮捕令和紙幣。據(jù)悉，這個(gè)位于波蘭的聚居區(qū)里的幾乎所有猶太人都被德軍殺害了。

以色列的一家大屠殺紀(jì)念中心的一位負(fù)責(zé)人評(píng)論說(shuō)，將納粹大屠殺遺物用于商業(yè)是對(duì)死難者的侮辱，這使人們對(duì)這段悲慘往事的紀(jì)念也變得廉價(jià)了。
