Amazon said Monday it has removed B次元官网网址淐hristmas ornamentsB次元官网网址� and other merchandise bearing the images of Auschwitz that had been available on its online site.

Amazon, which functions as a marketplace on top of selling products itself, said in a statement that B次元官网网址渁ll sellers must follow our selling guidelinesB次元官网网址� and that those who do not will be removed.

The move comes after the Auschwitz-Birkenau state museum on Sunday appealed to Amazon to remove the merchandise, which included an Auschwitz bottle opener and a Birkenau B次元官网网址渕assacreB次元官网网址� mouse pad.

It said that, B次元官网网址淪elling B次元官网网址楥hristmas ornamentsB次元官网网址� with images of Auschwitz does not seem appropriate. Auschwitz on a bottle opener is rather disturbing and disrespectful.B次元官网网址�

Many others on Twitter voiced outrage.

On Monday, the state memorial said it was still calling on another online outlet, Wish Shopping, to stop selling the products.

Nazi Germany killed 1.1 million people at the death camp, most of them Jews, during its occupation of Poland during World War II.
