Germany has canceled a controversial auction of Holocaust artifacts after intervention from Polish and German officials, amid global backlash from Holocaust survivors and advocacy groups.
Initially scheduled for Monday, the auction included personal letters and identity documents. Critics described it as a 'cynical and shameless' commercialization of historical suffering.
