"It's an urban myth," said Frank Chalk, a Concordia University professor and a recognized authority on genocide.
There is documented proof that the Nazis made agricultural fertilizer from ashes and used human fat as fuel, Chalk said. But never to make soap.
More like anything that was embossed with the eagle-and-swastika was a luxury item produced for Nazi party upper-crusters. I'm as good a supporter of the Jews and Israel as any other decent person is but I fail to see what the big deal is with this one. You can find Nazi-era collectors memorabilia anywhere in any major city in Canada or the US if you look hard enough. I ran across a silver-scabarded officer's ceremonial sword about twenty years ago for about $400 and still regret not picking it up just for it's inherent value as a conversation piece. None of this means that either the buyer or seller are all skinheads or some other variant of crazy asshole for bartering in particular section of the collectors market.
If it’s even being claimed as being real, it’s disgusting.
Bottom line, it’s disgusting.
