Jewish groups in Montreal are denouncing a curiosity shop where a bar of soap allegedly made from Holocaust victims' fat is for sale.
Jewish groups in Montreal are denouncing a curiosity shop where a bar of soap allegedly made from Holocaust victims' fat is for sale.
The beige bar of soap, in a store on Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal, is inscribed with a swastika and displayed in a glass case with a card that says "Poland 1940."
The store owner – who is Jewish – claims the soap was "made out of people ... the fat of people," but he wouldn't grant an interview about his stock, explaining he thought it was important to display and sell such items to remember the Holocaust.
Fake or real, the soap is outrageous, and "this individual, and others like him, are not preserving history in any way," said Alice Herscovitch, director of Montreal's Holocaust Centre.
"The sale of objects which glorify Nazism and hatred, to me, do nothing. They certainly don't help us remember."
The idea is also disgusting, she said.
"These are items that should not be out there in a promotional, sales kind of way."
Most Jewish historians and Holocaust experts say stories about mass-produced soap using human remains are untrue, even though there is evidence Nazis experimented with saponification during the Second World War in European concentration camps.

Alice thinks of herself as a man?
I have inteligence reports detailing the current location of the enormous frying pans used by the Nazi swine to torment the innocent Jews.
These were hastily converted into Nazi UFO's near the end of the War and were used by leading Nazi to flee to various undisclosed locations.
Naturally these flying machines had en-suite facilities and Pure Jewish Fat soap was the choice of many as the skin was left as soft as a babies bottom.
