Default Jewish organizations want Nazi memorabilia removed from antique stores, auction houses

Jewish organizations want Nazi memorabilia removed from antique stores, auction houses

Posted Nov 2, 2021

While it’s not against the law in Canada to own, buy or sell Nazi memorabilia, several Jewish organizations are calling on stores to stop profiting off a dark period of human history.

This comes after an Edmonton antique store – the Old Strathcona Antique Mall – decided to stop selling items with Nazi symbolism after an uproar online and social media pressure.

Another antique store in Edmonton – the Blue Jar Antique Mall – also decided to stop selling replica rings, pins and signs that bear a swastika after CityNews alerted them to community concerns.

Nazi memorabilia removed from Alberta antique stores: Jewish organization

Nov 11, 2021

Nazi memorabilia has been pulled from three Alberta stores’ shelves in time for Remembrance Day, a Canadian Jewish organization says.

B’nai Brith says it reached out to the owners of Old Strathcona Antique Mall, Blue Jar Antique Mall, and Mykel’s Antiques & Collectables in the Edmonton area to talk about the items that were linked to Nazi Germany.

“Antique shops that sell Nazi memorabilia risk propagating Nazi ideology by selling to those such as white supremacists,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada, in a statement.
