Bar of soap \’made from the fat of Jewish Holocaust victims\’ is removed from eBay after Dutch owner put it up for sale.
Dutch prosecutors have blocked the sale of a bar of soap which its owners claimed was made from the fat of Jewish people murdered at a Nazi death camp.
The owner attempted to sell the soap on the internet auction site eBay for €199 (£143). But as soon as the item went live, moderators removed it from sale.
The unnamed antiquities vendor who tried to sell the soap handed himself into police to answer questions after the auction was cancelled.
He had also handed over the two bars of soap, which are now being examined to see if they do indeed contain traces of human remains.
