European Jews are outraged over the auctioning of Nazi memorabilia that belonged to Adolf Hitler and other senior figures in the Third Reich.

Adolf Hitler's hat and his partner Eva Braun's dresses are among the items that were on sale, as were Hermann Göring's cigarette box and a silver-covered edition of Hitler's Mein Kampf autobiography.
The European Jewish Association (EJA) failed to get the Munich-based Hermann Historica to stop the auction, and it was held as scheduled on Wednesday.
Ahead of the auction, EJA Chairman Rabbi Menachem Margolin said in a letter that the sale was a disgrace. "You all say 'Never Again', make it so," he wrote. "Selling such items should be no different than selling the personal items belonging to Osama Bin Laden, or Anders Breivik."
