By Sunday night, the online retailer had removed the particular items; however the seller itself remained in operation.

The online store offers a range of Polish tourist and beauty spots on ceramic ornaments in yuletide shapes such as bells and snowflakes.

The site of the World War II concentration camp remains open today as a museum and memorial to the estimated 1.1million people who were murdered there, the vast majority of whom were Jews.

The snowflake shaped ornament in particular, which shares an outline with the Star of David, made for a particularly distasteful trinket when coupled with images of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.

"Selling 'Christmas ornaments' with images of Auschwitz does not seem appropriate," the memorial tweeted. "Auschwitz on a bottle opener is rather disturbing and disrespectful."
