German auction of Nazi concentration camp items cancelled, Polish minister says

Among more than 600 items for sale was a letter from an Auschwitz prisoner and a medical diagnosis about the forced sterilisation of a prisoner from the Dachau concentration camp, German media reports. Auschwitz was at the centre of the Nazi campaign to eradicate Europe's Jewish population, and almost one million of those who died at the site were Jews. Many of the artefacts scheduled to be auctioned were said to have come from the Buchenwald and Auschwitz concentration camps.
