Auschwitz Products on Amazon – level 3

09-12-2019 15:00

Amazon has pulled Christmas ornaments and other items from its site because they featured images of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

The products included bottle openers and a mouse pad and caused an uproar online after the Auschwitz Memorial tweeted about them.

The Auschwitz Memorial called the products disturbing and disrespectful and called on Amazon to remove them immediately.

An Amazon spokesperson confirmed that the products have been removed. All sellers on Amazon must follow its guidelines and if they do not, their accounts can be removed.

Difficult words: feature (to depict), uproar (a situation in which a lot of people are angry about something), guidelines (the rules).
