    [THREAD ]So, letters written FROM Auschwitz by a #Holocaust survivor in my wife's family are being sold on @eBay. And the seller refuses to return them to seller, instead demanding payment. He has already sold 12 family letters from the collection. @AuschwitzMuseum, can you help?pic.twitter.com/daf4xhHOhr

        These letters were written by Jerzy Modelski whose father died in Auschwitz. Jerzy is @danpogofc's grandfather. The letters went missing from the family under suspicious circumstances. Here is the response from the seller when asked to return the letters to the family.pic.twitter.com/MCl2Mmjfee

        I am absolutely appalled, heartbroken, and incensed as a family member and an historian. The Modelski family had four members sent to Auschwitz. One was killed there. The Modelskis were members of the Polish Home Army (the underground).

        I cannot believe a #Holocaust survivor's family is being forced to pay for some of the only surviving evidence from a very painful history. Please retweet this message in the hopes that someone can stop this and potentially return those already sold.

        Update: The seller is now discounting one of the letters. What kind of a despicable person does this?!? (note: someone tagged him in one of the responses so I can only guess that he is monitoring this now.)pic.twitter.com/rBNWXTXhLt

        Tagging @AskeBay @eBayNewsroom as well. Surely there is a policy against profiting from Holocaust-related artifacts, particularly when the rightful owners have been identified?

        Very disappointed in this response from the seller, Paul Wright, @paulwrightHRDC @azteccollect. Even more disappointed that he claims an interest in human rights (and prisoner rights) and yet refuses to return letters from a Holocaust survivor, literally a prisoner.pic.twitter.com/dqXrkfpSwU

        To be clear, he was given an opportunity to do the right thing (multiple times) before this ever went on the internet. It's just sad that he would put the family through all this over five letters.
