This 'hugely offensive' collection of Holocaust memorabilia is set to go under the hammer in the US just days after the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. The auction has been branded 'deplorable' for including more than 75 Holocaust-related items such as a wrought metal street sign proclaiming 'Jews not allowed', a guide book on how to gas Jews and an anti-Semitic children's book. Other  items up for sale include a pair of spectacles once owned by vile Heinrich Himmler, the Nazi commander responsible for the building and running of their concentration camps, and the visor cap worn by a death camp officer.
