EBay has apologised and removed from sale about 30 items of memorabilia from the Nazi Holocaust, following an investigation by a UK newspaper, reported BBC.
 
The Mail on Sunday said it had found "dozens" of items related to the Holocaust on the site last week.
 
Among them was a uniform said to belong to a Polish baker who died at Auschwitz for $18,000 (£11,200), it said.
 
The online auction site apologised and said it had made a donation of $40,000 (£25,000) to charity.
 
The Mail on Sunday said other items listed included shoes and a toothbrush said to have belonged to concentration camp victims and Star of David armbands used to mark out Jews for persecution.
