An antiques shop in St. Jacobs, Ont., that received backlash over selling a Nazi uniform is no longer making the item available for purchase.
St. Jacobs Antiques Market was selling the Nazi tunic, which has a party pin and armband, for $6,500. It was openly displayed in a clear case.
In a statement to CBC News, the store said it hopes to help preserve history and educate future generations about the horrors of the Second World War.
“Just to be clear, we do not support Nazism,” the statement said. “We have removed the tunic … It was not our intention to offend anyone.”
