The online auction giant eBay has removed at least 15 Nazi-themed toys — including SS guard figurines and play Nazi tanks — from its listings. The toys violated eBay’s policy against products that promote hate or violent ideologies, according to the Jewish News . The site bans an array of items, from human body parts to used cosmetics. Among its prohibited items are anything that promotes anti-Semitic stereotypes, as well as “Historical Holocaust-related and Nazi-related items, including reproductions, any item that is anti-Semitic or any item from after 1933 that bears a swastika [and] media identified as Nazi propaganda.” Nazi German coins are an exception. Other online retail giants, including Amazon and Etsy, also have removed items promoting anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories following public backlash.
