Auschwitz security officers arrest Nazi memorabilia dealer
By DPA
Tags: Jewish World, Auschwitz 

Security officers in Auschwitz - the site of former Nazi concentration camps - detained a man Wednesday for selling Third Reich memorabilia at a bazaar, local media reported.

Among the objects were copies of SS and Hitler military items, reported the Polish Press Agency.

The man's case will be taken up by local prosecutors who will determine if the act constitutes promoting fascism.

Polish law forbids promoting Nazi ideology, but allows the sale of historic relics and reproductions.

Poland is one of Europe's biggest exporters of Nazi memorabilia, and pulls in tourists from Germany and Scandinavia where the items are illegal.
