Nazi symbols for sale at antique store sparks debate over racist relics

'Having it on display is hurtful,' says Shimon Walt, whose family members died during the Holocaust

A Jewish couple in Halifax say they won't be returning to a local antique store after discovering it sells Nazi memorabilia.

Peggy Walt was browsing Finer Things Antiques on Saturday when she noticed a glass case with badges and medals marked with swastikas.

"When you walk into an antique store you don't expect to see something that is going to raise those kinds of feelings," Walt said. "Profiting from this, it's really not the right thing to do."

Walt had just come from a nearby synagogue. And she said she confronted the salesperson about why they were selling the items in the Quinpool Road store.
