The head of Israel’s Holocaust memorial has criticised plans by a Jerusalem auctioneer to sell tools used to tattoo inmates at the Auschwitz death camp.

The set of stamps made from needles is “the most shocking Holocaust item”, Tzolmans auction house says on its online auction page.

The Nazis branded prisoners with numbers and letters on their arms, and survivors still bear them decades on.
